Excellent predictions. As for NY "turning the tide" on illegal shops. I see this as near impossible - like trying to kill cockroaches: Kill one, two pop up. Although the MSOs will HATE this, do you see some sort of amnesty program becoming a reality. The form of which TBD
Ha! I love the cockroaches analogy there. Los Angeles had a somewhat similar problem a few years ago, and although it hasn't gone away, it's not as bad a problem as it used to be. I think there will eventually be enough licenseholders that they'll start to put the kind of political and financial (donation) pressure on politicians to at least stem the tide, to preserve some sort of equity in their investments - we haven't really seen that yet because there haven't really been any licensed dispensaries until very recently.
Great read, thank you!
