The state of California steps into the cannabis market Monday, by request of it’s citizens. I don’t expect nay significant changes in how the current market is working: the stores exist, the supply is completely over the top, and the distribution network has existed for decades. No one in California is going to run out of pot.<\/p>\n
If the state screws this up, they’ll be the new guy that doesn’t know what they are doing.<\/p>\n
But I don’t expect things to go south. The new market is coming up on schedule, as far as I know within budget, and with no show-stopping court cases or scandals. Lori Ajax was named the person-in-charge by the governor to develop the regulations while the laws were changing, and she has lasted through it all. The first legal weed sold January 1 in California will be because of Lori Ajax. <\/p>\n
Watch for her in the inevitable media show that I’m sure is coming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
