Many cannabis products aren't possible to produce without a legal framework.

Say you want a consistently dosed 5mg edible. Does your state have a robust cannabis oil extraction and distillation infrastructure? Does it have rapid, reliable testing to quantify dosage? Probably not.

Maybe you prefer a live resin extract produced from fresh cut flower. You need to have refrigerated trucks in the field when you harvest, a -20C refrigerated room for product storage, and a processing lab. This kind of product is highly sought after but rare in the black market.

There's as much depth to the cannabis industry as there is to alcohol, tobacco, or food. It just wasn't clear to people when all they could purchase was the equivalent of moonshine.

New Jersey does have the country's only coca leaf processor. They know how to handle shipments and regulation of controlled substances.
