Survey comments: Q3:"Would like more information on how the state could effectively manage oversight of this. We would need to know best practices on how to ensure limits are not exceeded." and "Competition is good for the consumer. We shouldn’t arbitrarily limit growth like we did with the Casino industry."Q4:I believe we should also be looking at individuals with previous convictions as well. Q5: Competition is good for the consumer. We shouldn’t arbitrarily limit growth like we did with the Casino industry.

Q1:I am open to having a conversation about making cannabis legal. As a licensed pharmacist myself, there are many safeguards that need to be put in place before steps are taken towards this change similar to medications. True facts from the leading experts and expert data are needed in analyzing the effects of marijuana on reaction time, awareness, and cognitive abilities of users. Although there is a nationwide shift to the inevitable legalization of marijuana, there is still much work to be done and I am open to having these conversations and willing to be convinced with the facts. Q2: same as #1 Q3: This is an issue directly related to possible criminal justice reform. Jails are overcrowded with non violent offenders as is. Q4:Too hard to regulate. Too many possibilities of abuse and chemical composition changes that can have a range of consequences.Q5:This will inevitably lower prices and create a viable market. I personally would like to look at the possibilities with my pharmacy license but am limited by a members only market.
