text: Alaska's marijuana system was broken from the get-go.  Oregon did it right.  No guarantee any of these "Growers" even know what they are doing, just that they know how to jump through bureaucratic hoops.  Stepping through endless levels of government is ridiculous.  Washington gave a ton of licenses to people who had no clue how to grow and saw part of their industry struggle to produce at the beginning.  Lots of Washington growers were a joke.  Alaska is shaping up like Washington. Oregon's industry is is thriving and behaving, and a grower can literally walk in to a store and sell their product.  The licensing is easy!  I want Oregon's system here.
