Should Big Tobacco and Alcohol Companies be Barred from the Marijuana Industry Going Forward?

By delegating a certain percentage of available licenses to a certain group of people creates a problem; the most qualified people don’t always get the businesses. Additionally, when you limit the amount of licenses that people can get based on scarcity, you increase the value of the license. Usually, this is where the “Big Boys” win, because people from affected communities can’t pay $50,000 for a license without even thinking about running costs.
