Rare insults

I live in Illinois and travel to Michigan because I'm not going to pay $300 an ounce, especially for what is frankly some pretty mid weed. It's also ludicrously expensive to get a license here to farm or open a store, so in practice only wealthy people get to do it. You can't even homegrow here unless you pay your extortion fee to the state. I think it's cool that the taxes support people harmed by prohibition, that's always a good thing, but I can't help wondering what it would be like with a little bit more freedom. Maybe it would benefit those people more if they were allowed to operate a legitimate business, for instance, but you need $500k liquid to even apply, which presumably prices out the kind of people that tax is supposed to help.
