8. Bad legislation writing.

In CA, they didn't write laws regulating the growers. The growers have no legal protections while transporting it to the dispensaries.

The legislature assumed the plant would magically appear at the dispensaries or something.

When I was in law school I took a course called "Legislation", which was about how to write laws properly.

A lot of the laws state and fed legislatures are passing fall under "Void for vagueness" (like baggy pants laws) and "Unconstitutional on its face" (restrictions on abortion beyond Roe v. Wade).

And that's why groups have to sue the state to get them overturned.
