Thank you for your coverage on the implementation of Amendment 2, which overwhelmingly passed last November. You are correct in stating that the Legislature, or at least the state House, seems to be ignoring the will of the people regarding medical marijuana and instead has been focusing on the will of the minority.
There has been a lack of coverage exposing the ongoing developments and lack of representation of the majority. I would like to add one more very disturbing fact that has been missing from the conversation. The Legislature has spent a lot of time trying to limit the size of the industry by restricting additional licensees from entering the marketplace. Most if not all of the new licenses would be issued only after an unprecedented amount of patients are registered under the new program.
