I don't have a clue what the purpose of the 4 month ban is. I just went to my local shop and chatted with them. They believe it's just in place to put shops out of business. Then they either won't have the start-up capital to re-open or will just move on.
At least NY gave two weeks before the ban kicked in. MA just did it effective immediately with no thought for the business owners. They were given no time to liquidate product. Basically just shut down with no concern for the livelihoods of the owners or their families. So wrong.
Yeah, it's kinda crazy. My town literally had a marijuana shop open yesterday, and the vape shop is being forced to close today.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for legal marijuana. It just seems so screwed up.
After I left the vape shop a little while ago and did a quick calculation...you can walk less than 100 steps down the sidewalk and buy cigarettes and flavored vodka. But nope, can't buy vape juice. You can go less than 2 miles down the road and buy enough weed/weed products to get stoned off your butt for a week.... But I can't buy vape juice.
Government is a mess, politicians are crooked and money makes the world go round. So yeah, I'm pretty upset at the hypocrisy and lies that are fueling these bans.
DON'T TREAD ON ME!!!!!!
