Beer and liquor licensing in Maryland is entirely corrupt. The industry dominates heavily to political canidates.

I've heard to expect the same once marijuana is legalized as well. The state is going to try to earn as much money off of it as possible. Limited vendors/providers, high taxes on them and then also products.

Think of how liquor is handled in Montgomery County. It won't be county/state stores, but they'll essentially be contractors with how much oversight and influence the state and county governments will have over them.
