    My husband works in the nuclear industry as a regulatory engineer. He has asked me to research jobs in the cannabis industry that his govermental regulatory expertise would be of use. Does anyone know where I should seek out possible positions for him? Thanks!

    I just wish it was affordable for the "small guy" putting money in the pockets of regular NMxns were we spend most of it in our state allowing many to become independent and prosperous instead of bolstering an already existing illegal black market or Corp. that will eventually move in and take the lions share of money even if you postpone it. Who’s starting a micro business with a 20,000 dollar barcode tracking app, I can’t. My whole facility wouldn’t have cost that much. So once again this is for the already prosperous people, ones who can get a 40,000 dollar lone or have that sitting around.

    Bureaucracy isn’t working, they don’t account for autoflowers. The Fishbowl app that runs tracking system for plants is 20,000 dollars taking the ability away from the micro business for the "small guy",putting money in the hands of the rich. That puts money in pockets of those who already have good financial standings "✌✌". The idea was to help NM but now only the well off get to be apart of it. You bureaucracy is going to set up a huge black market, the harder you make things just look at California. So tax the shit out of it and make sure you get kick backs so Corp. can take NM money and run. Leaving us broke. Nothing about auto flowers means you know nothing about the plant your trying to save our state with.
