No, growing palm trees for 20 years does not help here. Let the market determine who succeeds, not a quota by government determining who gets a license, which only creates artificial value and wealth to big Donors to the GOP legislative candidates. That is Crony Capitalism, and it is the very essence of corruption that led to voters’ rejection of The Establishment and to the election Donald Trump. Wake up GOP! Finally, retailers should have requirements like liquor stores and pharmacists. Check the validity of prescriptions and punish anyone who sells to a customer without a prescription. Pharmacists do this all day long. This could even be sold in pharmacies, where drugs belong. The final step is to quit pretending that doctors need to go to school to prescribe this new drug. This is not required when Big Pharma comes out with a new perhaps unknowingly addictive opioid and marijuana is much simpler and has fewer side effects than many of the new drugs sold every day in Florida.
Nobody is saying don’t regulate. What we are saying is properly regulate.
