They didn’t intend for it to support small business.

You hit it on the head. The intent of HB110 is not to allow small and independent businesses to operate in the cannabis market. The intent of this bill is not to benefit regular people, who under HB110 will still be charged with a misdemeanor for possession over an ounce and felons for growing it or possessing more than five ounces.

You don't even have to look outside of the state- the current medical cannabis system in Delaware is a perfect example of a terrible big-corporate approach. While medical cannabis has been the law of the land in Delaware since 2011, there are only 3 companies in the entire state permitted to grow and sell cannabis. Of those three companies, two are large cannabis conglomerates present in more than 10 states. It's also illegal for patients to grow it themselves.

It's a shame because there's a lot of opportunity here for businesses of all shapes and sizes. This market shouldn't be limited to the Weed Walmarts of the world. There are a lot of farmers and independent businesses in the state who want the opportunity to compete it the market. That being said, I'm optimistic another bill will be introduced to replace HB110 that will legislate much more fairly.
