Fundamentally, I think the problem is that some people can’t let go of the idea that things need to be controlled and managed by government. Now obviously I don’t think there should be no regulations around marijuana; but legal should mean legal. Anybody who follows some reasonable rules that relate to the goals of the regulatory regime should be able to open a store. No maximum number of stores, no allocation to various cities, just let people run their businesses.
This isn’t the only place where we see this. I’ve complained before about proposals to replace parking maxima with minima, and there are other examples.
