Hilary, your comment…”However, the feedback in California is that even legitimate cannabis businesses occasionally turn to the illegal market to stay afloat in the face of low prices and high taxes in the regulated market”, sounds like the same feedback I hear in California from most of the privately owned small business family owned farms whose parents and grand parents settled here to create and nurture the bountiful nuts, fresh fruits, citrus and grapes we all enjoy today! No question doing business in CA is a constant “sea of change”, the Tax man always shows up, and if you expect to have an gov’t official “answer your phone-call or invite you to their office to answer your questions?, well…Thats what their WEBSITEs are for…. Ask UHaul, Ryder, etc… they can attest to the quitters… Reply
