Do you know what it will do? Allow people to get loans from a bank to open up a cannabis business, making it no longer an exclusive business to people with wealth.

One of my good friends owns a 12 million dollar brewery, want to take a guess who was able to get multiple loans from different banks to start their business, without needing to rely on investors who expect more returns back on their investment, than banks ever would?

That would require there to be more licenses to get at the point.

Like I said before, if regular Americans could get loans from banks to start their own cannabis business, it wouldn't be exclusive to people who are already clearly very well off, that includes getting any of the limited available licenses.

Don't get me started on the necessity for cannabis cultivation unions for workers.

At least in my state there isn’t a single available license.

That's by design. Shame regular people can't get a fair chance, don't you agree?

But that’s my point. This can’t be solved by federal legalization. It’s ultimately a state level issue.
