It would devastate the monopolized medical marijuana industry---oh, and strike a severe blow against public safety and well being of course.
When the referendums came up in California, Colorado, and Washington these lobbying groups were some of the biggest opponents (California businesses spent heavily in Washington on the 'No' campaign). Sidling up next to National Corrections Employees Union (NCEU) and anti-legalization lobbies with gusto they've worked assiduously to defend their interests. It's obviously different depending on the state, in California it's much more aggressive due to the size of the industry, but as marijuana legalization has crossed the threshold of plausibility opposition has suddenly materialized.
