Why This Matters
Without ownership limits:
- MSOs have even greater control of the industry with expanded bulk wholesale purchasing, shelf space, retail locations
- Equity licenses lose value and get consolidated by the most profitable businesses
- Consumers, patients, and communities lose out on quality products from local businesses creating local jobs and keeping profits local
Reminder: Hearing is Wednesday at 10:30 AM
You don’t need to be an expert to testify. Just speak from the heart — your experience and perspective matters.
