Reply to comment by [deleted] in Legal weed customers continued spending millions on cannabis taxes in the third quarter as more dispensaries began recreational marijuana sales: New Jersey collected more than $7.7 million in taxes on cannabis purchases from July through September by rollotomasi07071

>Comparing a dispensary to your local liquor is not a good analogy that many lawmakers are using. The demand for recreational weed is massive compared to the guy who wants a 6-pack.

There's so many differences, and they are all imposed by legislature.

Theres no chance they would allow more than one dispensary in most towns, where there are 3 to 4 liquor stores in any given town (at least, there's usually more. A lot more)

There's fewer restrictions on homebrewing alcohol, which can literally kill you if done incorrectly.

People will come out against a dispensary before they come out against another liquor store.
