A big part of why they have a monopoly is because these are large, multistate corporations greasing the palms of politicians so they can keep out mom and pop dispensaries. There's NO good reason for there to be only what, 1-2 independent sellers in the entire state.
Supply and demand applies, sure, but when the market is completely closed, there is no way for competition to help meet demand at affordable prices. If you look at other industries with monopolies, you can see how this will play out. We pay way too much for internet and cable why? Monopolies.

The sharing of the license plate without anything to validate this incident occurred or even that the police are actively looking etc - VERY concerning. How do we know this isn't someone being stalked? Or someone wanting to essentially dox someone to get some kind of revenge/encourage harassment? It's one thing to warn of the situation as a possibility and another to give people the means to harass someone that we don't know actually did something.
