Being (ahem) born and raised in Norcal, and having family members in "the business", I can testify that it was White Men that built the Pot business from the ground up.

Selective breeding, travel to foreign lands for genetics, horticultural excellence, hybridization etc. Not to mention distribution, often at great personal cost.

Sleeping outside from late August through mid-October, no matter the weather.

And they're supposed to give it all away after 50 years of building it.

I guess she thinks pot should be like casino gambling, with a racial entitlement for getting into the business.

I guess ambition has nothing to do
with running a business. If you’re
not out there trying your best to
make sure your livelihood succeeds,
your probably not going to make it.
Everyone has the same opportunities
as the next guy.

The taxes that come from pot sales are theft by the government. They effect the poor most of all!

AOC is the Gift That Keeps On Giving.

What I enjoy is that she has blown the lid off of the thin-veiled anti white America bigotry of the politically correct and the social justice warriors.

It’s something that the Democrat leadership and their useful idiots in the Republican party have worked hard to keep under wraps for years, and here is blabbermouth Ocasio-Cortez making it so obvious that even the willfully blind can’t ignore it.

So - why not trace the Opium Trade back to its origins and place blame for "commercial profiteering" where that's due, as well?

81 percent are white.

Sounds like whites are under represented since black make up about 13% of the population

More dumbsh*tness from the socialist princess. If you’re going to buy it, “white men” are going to sell it to you. Idiot.

Maybe it's more about people doing it illegally and paying the price versus people doing it legally and reaping the profits.

Many a white drug grower/dealer is also going to get cut out of the big profits.

It's not something I worry about or care about, but your relatives may not be big beneficiaries of legalization, any more than the minority dealers in the cities.

Who is the puppet master behind AOC? She can’t come up with a headline topics everyday - who is the “team” feeding her bullet point news stories?

The socialsh1ts - i mean socialists - demand colorblindedness while everything they do is based on their hyper-reaction to a person’s color or sexual bits.

prior to legalization in areas, the entire industry was run by minorities. Not that some airhead would understand that.

So Ocasio-Cortez wants people at the top of an industry based on the color of their skin.

How about studying, implementing and testing sales and marketing strategies to get to the top?

Ocasio-Cortez is another stupid, low-IQ racist.

She is being racist by claiming people of color tend to be illegal dealers. Has she not even seen one episode of the Sopranos ?

https://weedmaps.com/dispensaries/ohio-medical-marijuana-dispensary/about

Ohio’s Medical Marijuana “Business” is very expensive to get into.

ie: Applicants must also submit a $10,000 application fee and a certification of operation fee of $90,000 if awarded a license. Applicants must also pay a $100,000 renewal fee for each year. Applicants will be ranked using a numerical process system, and the Department may issue up to 40 processor licenses prior to September 9, 2018.
And the ‘dispensary’ costs are astronomical.
In order of applicants to apply for a license, they must have at least $250,000 in liquid assets to cover the application and operations costs. Ohio Medical Marijuana Dispensary owner applicants must pay a one-time, non refundable application fee of $5,000. If their application is approved, they will pay $70,000 every two years to maintain their license. If the annual payment is late, an additional $10,000 fee will be added. Dispensaries that relocate, undergo major renovations, or change in ownership will pay a fee of $5,000. Advertisements, which must be approved by the board, will cost $100 per ad. Certified employees identification cards will cost between $50 to $500. (All above fees are non-refundable)
