Was in the traditional markets almost 20 years here. Served two years for cannabis back in '08. And I have to say you're 100% right. Dispensaries will not survive a federal legalization of Cannabis. Not even close. Once the tobacco companies get involved it is GAME OVER. And I'll tell you why. Convenience, availability, price, quality and quantity. Most of Cannabis's value over the past couple decades can be attributed to the religious culture surrounding it. Not a religion of faith in a higher power. But a religion of an exaggerated impact or enjoyment of cannabis by most of its users. Especially the daily users. Most daily users of cannabis experience little to no psychoactive effects at all. But yet still spend significant %'s of their income to use it, even though they haven't been "high" for much of their time using cannabis. When Big Tobacco comes in and doesnt acknowledge that religion, no longer uses names like, Durban Poison, Grease Monkey, Ice Cookie, etc, and simply labels it either Indica, Sativa, Hybrid. Priced at $7 a pack, for 20 cigarettes, on EVERY SHELF of EVERY CONVENIENCE STORE IN THE COUNTRY, it is over with for mom and pop. The tobacco companies will give many cannabis users the experience they always wanted deep down. Not the religious experience they hold on to because they've been paying $50/8th for quality for years. But the experience to smoke when, where, and how you want throughout the day, for less than $10/day. For most Cannabis users, using is not even affordable. Most cannabis users have families and are middle class. Smoking cannabis on a daily for Mom and Dad cuts DEEP into the family budget. Judge them is you will, but that's the reality. Yes, there will always be that demand for exotic. But that will represent a minority share in overall cannabis use. Most cannabis users are your everyday Joe or Jane, looking to relax a little and not break the bank. Not the connesuir whose day is all about finding the ultimate strain. Overall, for anyone "in the game", legal or otherwise. They better get what they can get while they can get it before Phillip Morris and the like come through and acquire the entire industry, almost overnight. Sorry for yelling.
