The foundation of having state-owned liquor stores vs retail stores offering liquor.

If we have retail cannabis, retailers could challenge the state-run liquor system.

There is no connection. Pot is not alcohol. We also have retail tobacco.

Do people actually think their going to sell pot inside the state liquor stores?? That would never happen. They’d have to open new storefronts and they’d be a million miles out of everyone’s way. Easier to just go to MA or ME.

Stores will be allowed on a town by town basis. As there is revenue attached to allowing pot stores, and every town is hurting on proper taxes, the incentive to allowing it is pretty strong. But yeah it won’t be next to a school.
