Like as a long-term resident of an actual food desert I'm just baffled at "[cannabis retail deserts] are also a cousin of so-called food deserts, where affordable or quality fresh food can be hard to find because grocery stores offering such fare aren’t convenient. Without healthy options, residents often turn to fast food and convenience stores, consuming a steady diet of processed foods — and potentially suffering health consequences."

benjipwns · « **Reply #1003 on:** May 29, 2019, 06:49:56 PM »

the mockery is because it's an entirely narrowly targeted "upper class white people" type complaint framing the situation to not only sell to weak liberals but also promote her own company

the entire country, including California, exists as a legal cannabis retail desert under a longstanding unended actual war of prohibition, it's merely on an cross-cutting whim of the feds that "legal" at one level cannabis retail exists as it does... Raich is absolutely still law of the land despite the wishes of Justice Thomas (teehee)

and doubly so, California does not legally sell cannabis in anyway that I would recognize as "legal retail" considering it operates like a fucking control state in liquor retail not even the more enlightened control state in wholesale variety and while recreational usage has been decriminalized like many places since the 1970s, a medical marijuana regime even a "wink-wink" kind isn't legitimate legal retail and in this case California allows municipalities to control issuance of retail licenses, something that can only end in "cannabis deserts" due to the political costs involved (and doing it at the state level is not guaranteed to solve the "deserts" issue considering population distribution)

her smartest paragraph is this one, but is almost a perfect example of why we mock it:

Quote

The irony is that bans on legal cannabis end up propping up the illicit market. Without a legal option, users have little choice but to turn to the most convenient local means available, the illegal market, where businesses don’t comply with the quality control standards of the regulated market. And of course, illegal sales mean losses in tax revenue for the state.

but she proceeds to miss the forest for the trees to outline how her solution is not to deregulate and legalize marijuana, it is to tweak the regulatory regime in a way that works for her company which specializes in delivery, with retail as a secondary feature:

Quote

Communities that aren’t yet ready to license retail stores should welcome delivery businesses as a discreet and safe solution.

benjipwns · « **Reply #1004 on:** May 29, 2019, 07:10:27 PM »

It's also illegal at the state level and the local level. 80% of municipalities will not issue licenses for retail. No one will issue individual seller licenses (ala guns) that I'm aware of.

Legalize it, don't cartelize it.

She doesn’t equate them. Stop being triggered by analogies. The analogous portion is they cause people to make harmful decisions.

She says that food deserts cause people to potentially harm themselves, whereas marijuana deserts cause people to break the law and purchase goods that don't go through official quality control, both of which are also only potentially harmful but of course that bit is left out.
