Some States control all liquor sales through state owned stores. Aurora is looking at controlling recreational marijuana sales through city owned stores.

Here's an idea... unionize city owned dispensaries and grow operations, then add the 15-30% tax. Due to the higher costs of operation, weed prices rise to the point where private unemployed growers are incentivized to bring a cheaper product to market. Then when the city owned operations begin to struggle due to cheaper competition, we give them tax payer subsidies to keep them afloat and avoid layoffs and pension reductions.
