Regulations Governing the Medical Cannabis Program
 

Overall I feel that this is a comprehensive document covering all of the aspects that I would be concerned about as a citizen. Particularly, I like the required tracking for production and health/safety requirements. I do have some concerns with the feasibility of new producers being able to enter into the market. First, the document states that producers can produce only enough to meet the first 9 months of demand. How will this quantity be verified if there is no prior business to compare to? Is a producer required to obtain supply contracts prior to production? What happens if the supplier overproduces initially? I also wonder as to the feasibility of the initial start up cost. The licensing fees are substantial and while the electronic tracking system does seem like a good idea for regulation and control, I would imagine the investment would be significant as well.
