No collectives are suppose to operate a storefront, hence why a few up near Vancouver were raided.

So they never had a state wide system that tracked seed to sale, never had a card program, nada. Denver did - so they were able to utilize the system in place for medical as well when CO opened up they had a one time grant to take the mmj and sell it for recreational.

Washington had to setup an entire system and had no cultivation in place ... along with the taxes, the program is just setup poorly. Now, if WA would allow a tax break or no taxes to those who hold medical "cards" then they'd be golden.
