Yeah, Like currently in places like Arkansas..

No room for the little guy in Arkansas

Recently in Arkansas, the state's Medical Marijuana Commission has mandated a $100,000 license fee for medical cannabis growers. This cost is after you have paid the $15,000 application fee. Fifty percent of that fee is refunded, if you are not accepted, the rest goes to the state.

If this financial obstacle in the way of small business, was not bad enough; Arkansas also will now require that applicants show they have at least $500,000 in cash as well as proof of $1 million in assets.

Those significantly high entry fees make this industry unobtainable for many people. The Arkansas MMJ Commission sights these inflated prices as their way of ensuring success for the program. Sighting fears that the system will need money to support itself for an unknown amount of time.
