The republican party establishment commanded republican reps. to oppose it in order to perpetuate the false narrative that the republican party wholly opposes people smoking weed, and the democrat party wants to let people smoke weed.
It's a big issue for millions of pot smokers who will always vote for whoever they think will de-criminalize (who wants to be criminal?) weed. It's a uni-party control trick. The old "good cop/bad cop" routine. This is simply the (bad cop) republican party establishment assisting the (good cop) democrats so that together, the uniparty establishment can push through bullshit, unconstitutional, oppressive, anti-American legislation, and always have someone else to point the finger at to blame. Establishment control on display, complete with smoke and mirrors.
This bill sucks though. It is only going to be a boon for mid to large sized companies. There is NO way they're going to let your average Joe open a small store and sell their own stuff ... The cost for permits will prevent that.
The only legal stuff out there will be from companies aligned with mid to big pharma. You really think that's a good idea?
They're doing the same shit state governments did with gambling. It's still illegal everywhere in said states EXCEPT at government sanctioned gambling places (with the exception of Nevada of course). You can't buy a few slot machines and operate them at your bar ... That's dangerous according to government. It's only dangerous to the scumbag piece of shit getting kickbacks from government gambling centers. Only the government can own monopolies you know ...
