A couple years after we legalized there was a glut.
The only sales I saw were in the "legacy market" because they had competition and surplus while the licenced producers couldn't afford to reduce prices.
Many small artisanal growers got cheated out of their jobs because regulations and fees were out of reach and it was so costly to maintain licences they'd be bankrupt.
It would make more sense to treat it as any other agricultural or herbal product. I can imagine going to a farmers market and seeing a selection of fresh and dried herb, an *ahem* interesting assortment of teas, cookies and brownies etc.
Or smaller shops like microbreweries but for weed where you can consume with friends and get some to go...
Ok. Ill get off of my soapbox now.
