“AB 374 will allow struggling cannabis businesses to diversity away from the marijuana-only ‘dispensary’ model and bring much needed tourist dollars into empty downtowns.”

This is great, but the bolded part struck me as comical and odd. I have yet to be in a dispensary and it not be busy.

Can’t remember the source, but I read somewhere that legal cannabis operations in California are struggling to make profits due to businesses having unsustainable discounts to try and compete + illicit markets still remaining. So that could be genuine reason for struggle, if accurate.

I actually think I saw the same thing, now that you mention it. Iirc it was due to the taxes, since they are like 30% (might be exaggerating but it sure feel that way)
