Do dispensaries want legalization?

Do people who own, provide for, or work for dispensaries, want legalization? Seems like they'd lose money if legalization occurs. What do you think?

Why would you want legalization (which will inherently lower the value of this particular plant's flowers/fruit) when you hold a monopoly on a market with a product selling at 350-500 an ounce?

I was also wondering this. A disp. near me had people signing a petition for some legalization bill and I laughed seeing as how they would go out of business. No need to pay some shady doctor every year to be legal either....

im guessing it would depend on the dispensary. those in it for the business, which i'm guessing is most, would probably not enjoy legalization as it would strip them of their profitable business. same is true for people who traffic large amounts of tree, or people who grow large amounts of tree and depend on the subsequent money for their livelihood.

but dispensaries would probably just stay in business and sell weed legally to anyone 21+ (or the legal age of a said bill in a state) however i dont see why they wouldn't lose a ton of business from other sellers oppening up shop or people who just want to grow their own.

still, i think a lot of dispensaries would be up for the idea of legalization though, i mean you'd have to love weed a lot to open up a shop devoted to it. for the most part these people emmerse themselves in the cannabis culture. however, when it comes to you job and putting food on the table, it becomes a much more serious and political issue. its an interesting question, it would be nice to get a first hand opinion on it.
