> I am willing to bet that your city spends a lot of money on health inspectors, fire inspections and other regulations of the grocery store.

True. Agreed. But if the grocery story adds marijuana as item number 3,235 to what was previously its inventory of 3,234 items, this shouldn't add anything to the cost of government inspectors and regulators.

But yeah... I see where this goes.... ugh...

Also, there is probably not a lot of shoplifting of green beans that goes on. Put MJ out in the produce aisle and it will be a different story. It just has a “context.”

Exactly. All Congress has to do to ban green beans in DC is to say that the City shall not spend any money on inspections of stores that sell green beans. Since there already is a law that no grocery store can operate without a health inspection, there go the green beans.
