partly attributable to natural market forces and competition??? sorry legalization just meant to enhance a big players takeover and legalize another deadly monopoly

Colorado's cannabis economy: State shows economic growth at twice the US average
15 November 2016 GMT
‘In the two years since recreational marijuana sales became legal in Colorado, the state has seen economic growth two times greater than the U.S. national average, according to a new in-depth analysis.
“The Economic Impact of Marijuana Legalization in Colorado,” released by the Marijuana Policy Group in October 2016, was created using a new “Marijuana Impact Model” designed to accurately measure the cannabis industry’s economic impact on the state.
As it turns out, the positive impact has been enormous. The state saw nearly $1 billion in marijuana sales in 2015, with legal cannabis activities generating a combined output of $2.39 billion. Sales increased 42.4 percent over 2014.’
From The Daily Sheeple::
"Cannabis now ranks number six in terms of product sales, following closely behind cigarette sales. It beats gold mining by a large margin, and even performing arts and sports venues as well as all non-grain crop farming.
"However, the real impact is seen when put in terms of 'output and employment per dollar spent,' where spending in the cannabis industry outperforms all private industries in Colorado – including coal and other mining, oil and gas, casinos, business services, general manufacturing and retail trade (incl. alcohol)."
Every retail cannabis sales dollar represents $2.40 in state output, and the combined impact of retail sales, cultivation and manufacturing is greater than that of any other entity, including federal government spending in the state.
Cannabis industry created 18,000 jobs in Colorado in 2015.....
Is there a downside?
Unfortunately, the rapid growth of the cannabis industry in the state has produced a negative impact for smaller "cannabusinesses," as larger companies have begun to dominate the marketplace.
Certainly, this is partly attributable to natural market forces and competition, but one of the main challenges for the smaller players in the market has been to remain in compliance with the labyrinthine regulatory system put in place by the state. The cost and complexity of compliance has forced many to simply shut down.
