The fact that current law says anyone w priors can't start a dispensary is shit & on a certain lvl it's worse than keeping it illegal

Ppl who want to keep it illegal are wrong & stupid, but they have a moral belief. Ppl who want to legalize but blackball dealers are thieves

A law that makes selling illegal for everyone is misguided puritanism, a law that makes it illegal for everyone but 10 ppl is just feudalism

Is amnesty likely to ever pass? No. Will legalization w/o amnesty make a lot of ppl's lives better? Sure, but I don't have to be happy

The ppl getting million-dollar startups to sell legal weed are prolly 100% convinced they're the progressive good guys, too
