That's garbage though. We legalized in what, 2020? 2021? 2 whole years to implement full legalization but in-between then users are caught in this weird fucking legal purgatory, where it's legal to have but there's nowhere to buy and underground markets still get raided by cops.

For what it's worth I'm mostly venting my frustrations with the legislative process. But there just doesn't seem to be a good reason why they haven't opened normal rec dispensaries yet, as a guy who works in construction they could have thrown a dispo up in a few months. Grow/dispo in roughly the same time, plus a month or two. But perhaps you could provide some insight to me as to why they've dragged their feet getting dispensaries open? I know a lot of towns have sticks up their collective asses about having dispos but it just doesn't make sense to me that we're looking at such a painfully long timeline to get the weed we were supposedly allowed to have access to 2 years ago
