(9,709 posts)These initial rules balance our goal of developing a tightly regulated system with reasonable access for small and large business models to participate within the system, said state Liquor Control Board Chair Sharon Foster.
They are based upon hundreds of hours of internal research and deliberation, consultation with multiple industry experts and input from the over 3,000 individuals who attended our forums statewide.

I thought I'd post the original document because wonks are going to want that regardless.

I am currently growing my own to sell to med shops, and of course for myself. Hoping to be a delivery service one day perhaps. For those that can grow it, now's the time to make your money before it's industrialized. While the market is still somewhat small.

In my county we have some extemely sketchy characters in the medical pot biz.
