It takes time from legalization to when businesses appear. Most states, it seems, at least a couple years.

That time delay is due to needing to spontaneously build an entire supply chain for weed in-state, as it can’t be moved across state borders. Farms, transportation, financing, retail space, zoning, regulations, and more.

Takes a long time for weed to make it to consumers, but it also creates a huge local industry since everyone has to work within the state, at least when dealing directly with the product.
