    This will only insure that those less qualified to produce and sell a quality product will get licenses simply based on their skin color! Illinois has figured out a way to go Full Woke and apply Affirmative Action style criteria to the Cannabis Licensing System.

    Fuck this social equity bullshit. Real funny how the govt can give preferential treatment and not treat us all as equal. I know the babies cry and complain like the “adults” that they are

    The black market never had a problem with corruption. Illinois took something good and of course fucked it up with greed. Way to go!

    As a person who was incarcerated and deported for cannibis I do not think it is fair that all though we also suffered we may not be able to access any benefits of this social equity because we were removed from the country. Justice for cannibis deportees!

    its been in there for along time you knew it was going to be stinky at first.

    Tight control has created the highest priced in the country. Recreational or Medical. Making the illegal street market alive and well. So the most economical choice for a medical patient is to grow. The State will only get taxes from the grow supplies you purchase. The best thing is you can always have available the strains that work best for you.
