a way to connect the taxes generated by state dispensaries into tax cuts for the rich
Hawaii could simply launder the dispensary revenue through Oahu rail development to inflate the value of real estate held by the rich. It's what they're doing with all the other revenue, might as well..
growers, users, sellers want the state to protect them from federal prosecution
Actually, what I want is much simpler: State/County can just get out of the way. If the Feds want to enforce, they can send "boots on the ground". Stop interfering in policy with money/power games.
Note the recurring pattern on basically every issue: it's either "States' (Sovereign) Rights" or "Federal Pre-Emption" depending who wants what. Marijuana? Federal pre-emption. Sanctuary state? Sovereign right. What about the "will of the people"?
