It's all about politics if you ask me bud. Both Ford and Legault ( aka Dumb & Dumber) are conservatives. Hence, they serve a base that is anti-pot. Opening hundreds of stores would be perceived as supporting the pot movement, which BTW, is a Federal initiative plus it would cost money in the short term. Never mind if the extra tax revenues could help finance added police enforcement while providing a safer form of cannabis that would be consumed anyways via the BM...
