This prevents the &#8220;free gift&#8221; when you buy an empty baggie for $35.  Then, stores can only sell marijuana or it&#8217;s derivatives, nothing else.  There&#8217;s a &#8220;sweetheart deal&#8221; that allows stores to sell &#8220;closely-related&#8221; items like rolling papers, bongs, and even cigarette liters, but stuff like food, T-shirts, or a pop machine is off-limits, including things like lock-boxes.<\/p>\n<p>Now it&#8217;s legal for the stores to make available the lock boxes supplied from public health.
