The guy must have a nice grow and roster of clients he's trying to protect. Otherwise why would he want to keep the Black Market in his area? Ridiculous. And yes, there is a clear conflict of interest here. It is the appearance of it that creates the conflict. Alaska needs revenue. This is the only one even suggested and voted on! For crissakes, quit stalling and get with the growing! ALASKA NEEDS THE MONEY! And news flash: Winter is coming...another year of hemming and hawing and not a stalk of useful Hemp growing anywhere.
