If and when #ganja is legalized for recreational sales in #Aotearoa (#NZ), I'd be happy to see commercial sales limited to cooperatives, co-owned and democratically governed by those who buy the products. I didn't spend 20 years campaigning for cannabis using communities to be free from persecution, so that venture capitalists can set up cannabis corporations and make huge profits off us.
Similar problems in #Canada -- the people who were most opposed to #Cannabis are now in the commercial grower / distributor racket (notably Julian Fantino and Bill Blair, both former police chiefs in Toronto) https://nowtoronto.com/news/cops-politicians-cashing-in-on-cannabis/
