The state's Cannabis Control Board is considering relaxing the ban on legal pot shops being closer to each other than 1,000 feet, further complicating New York's legal weed rollout.
Legal pot-shop owners are concerned about potential increased competition, but their worries take a back seat to the broader issue of neighborhood decline associated with cannabis.
New York's legal weed rollout could be seen as a mismanaged effort that favored former criminals for licenses, leading to litigation and operational dysfunction.
The belief that legalizing pot would lead to positive community outcomes stands contradicted by evidence; where there’s easy access, social decay tends to follow.
