Greg Zeman, Associate Editor of Cannabis Now, explores the chances of a legal weed shortage in California. A breakdown in the approval of dispensary licenses might be to blame.
Zeman explains that California legalization was passed with lots of leeway, but says that strategy is coming back to haunt them. He says regulation is needed throughout every level of the process.
Zeman says San Francisco has not issued one single license, and as a result, there are technically no legal dispensaries in the city. In terms of the next domino to fall, Zeman says "July is the brick wall" for when the entire state could feel the effects of this backlog.
