I think part of the solution to this problem is, what are you trying to solve? I think maybe there's a different root problem that's trying to be solved in this legislation than perhaps you would identify with. In addition to getting marijuana, cannabis, out of the hands of our youth and the hands of our children, it's also about removing the black market, removing crime from this marketplace. That's probably overstating it, but at least reducing their opportunity to make profit in this particular space.
The other is addressing the health of safe production of marijuana. With regulated, licensed production facilities, you know what you're getting. It can be controlled, it can be tested, and it can be monitored. There are other objectives here that I think decriminalization doesn't address. I just want to leave it at that.
I have a question for Colorado and for Washington. The last presentation we had was from those two states, and they talked about a barring of vertical integration. It sounded like it was more just about competition. They didn't want to have one big company that was doing everything. Other than competition, was there a health reason or a legal reason?
