Thanks for all that info.
I bet if we dug down to the roots of manufacturing, sale and distribution, we’d find tobacco companies. They’ve lost sales in the last decade, have knowledge and equipment to grow and process marijuana cigarettes. If indeed, it will be in cigarette form. Do you know?
Or does grannie have to roll her own?
They are considering building huge greenhouse-type structures adjacent to the hop fields near Yakima. There is water and plenty of sun six months of the year. I believe the crop has to be grown in state and none can be exported. Tobacco, of course, wouldn’t do so well here so there is no tobacco company presence.
The preliminary product depictions I’ve seen were baggie-type things that are imprinted with the state’s seal. They were also discussing something like brownies or cookies. If I ever tried it, one of those would probably be my choice. Probably only once as $5 cookies or whatever wouldn’t last long in my budget.
No idea if there will eventually be marijuana cigarettes. I don’t think the state knows yet. They just hired their primary consultant for business strategy as well as agricultural and distribution aspects. There’s a whole lot to do by December on this when you consider how long the state takes to get anything done (no problem for the black market).
