What's next for infused products? Manufacturers must cater to demand for CBD, rapid onset and microdosing to stay ahead.
Multiple fine.

And this is a big surprise, why, exactly? As long as legal states make licensing fees high, added to the cost of a brick-and-mortar operation, the Black Marketeers will ALWAYS be cheaper! And a great many smokers will risk less quality (unknown grow factors) for a cheaper price. The same holds true EVERYWHERE. The answer, also applicable everywhere: legalize across-the-board. Let anyone grow what they want, though a bit of education regarding pesticides, etc. should be made available. Cannabis is a SACRED HERB and should belong to THE PEOPLE, not the corporations, and certainly not the damn government.
The only way to solve this problem is for legal sellers to invent new products that are difficult to reproduce. That is why no one bothers to make their own whiskey or beer on a commercial level. Everyone can grow weed no different than the pros. More attention needs to be placed on vape products and edibles or anything that does not stink like weed. The stink will kill this business. Raw product should be discouraged.
