Give it time. Once municipalities realize this is just a business like any other, I'm sure we'll see a reversal on moratoriums in many communities.

I wish some of these leaders would take a trip north to Great Barrington to see how this industry has reinvigorated development. I mean downtown GB has always been pretty vibrant, but the north side was plagued with a bunch of vacant commercial units for many years. Now there a bunch of upscale businesses (some cannabis-related, some not) that have opened shop, and the commercial district is always humming now.
