This bill is VERY limited in scope. Even the strain is limited it seems. Only those nurseries who have been in continuous operations for 30 years can apply to be a grower. Limited number of dispensaries as well.
Amendment 2 on the ballot this Nov. is a much broader option for those in medical need.
