We're not sure what marijuana based small business expects.
They bring years of complex work to our municipal leaders. Just to get the structure in place.
The only benefit they bring to state revenues is through sales tax. They bring nothing beneficial to our business friendly efforts because they cannot bank, they can't buy insurance, support businesses that are neighbors will not work with them because they can't afford to get caught up in the battle over legalities. They can't rent space and pump revenue into our commercial core.
And we haven't even started on the long list of social problems such as law enforcement and effects on our youth.
We repeat ourselves by saying that until the Feds and the State get the legalities worked out, there should be a complete stop, a moratorium on all marijuana based businesses.
We simply cannot financially carry these businesses any longer.
