After January 1st legalization, Recreational marijuana dispensaries in IL running low

Recreational marijuana dispensaries run low on supplies
It's been less than a week since recreational marijuana went on sale in Illinois and already there are supply issues.
The demand is so high, many dispensaries have sold out of recreational marijuana, so customers will have to wait for some dispensaries such as Midway Dispensary to restock.
Midway Dispensary ran out of product for their recreational use customers Sunday. Signs were up all around the store saying that to stay in compliance with the law, they have to have a 30-day inventory at all times for medical patients, and because of that they have to stop selling to recreational customers.
"We exceeded our expectations about how much stuff we had, and the number of purchasers we were allowed to service, so that was a good thing," said Neal McQueney, the dispensary's owner.

The Cannabis Business Association of Illinois, the industry's professional association, said the first license to grow recreational was awarded only last summer. With dispensaries purchasing from cultivators, it takes time to develop the supply chain.
Sales were close to $5.5 million across that state in the first two days of last week.
Illinois saw $3.2 million in sales on the first day. That translates to about $317,000 in state tax revenue (not counting state and local sales taxes) in a single day.
It took until January 6th before a dispensary was robbed in Chicago.

That's happened in pretty much every other legal state.

They should legalize it in Louisiana and have a visible account where the money accrues that the public can see how much is in there and what it is spent on.
50% goes towards a new bridge, 50% goes towards public school system

A lot of prisons are starting to take immigration detainees now because ICE pays more than the state does per person. With Cali banning private prisons from housing immigration detainees, I could see more in LA picking up the slack.
Now might actually be the perfect time for LA to push seriously for, at minimum, the decriminalization of simple possession, if not outright legalization (the goal).

Nothing new, it will take a few months for the supply to start meeting the demand
