if the Mom and Pops were smart they'd begin to assemble any cooperatives now. Better to be prepared than to sit on their hands and complain. Big cannabis going to happen, unless California legislates otherwise.

Corporate product will be weed, poisonous as always. Health comes from good economics. Cannabis is a natural health product best grown by your neighbors.

Regulation of an above-board industry in a transparent legalized framework means consumers actually know what they're getting.

If growers, etc. torpedo it because they like the status quo, it will be detrimental- to say the least- to the momentum of legalization everywhere; the narrative won't be "California wants better or different legalization", it will be "see, even California doesnt want to legalize the evil weed"-

It will be a green light for prohobitionists to try and stop or roll back progress.

This isnt some craptastic initiative like Ohio's- it contains provisions allowing growing at home, etc.

To be reflexively allergic to things like regulation and taxation is childish and counterproductive in the long run.

Some parts of the industry in CA need to grow up a bit, I think.
