there's 23 states that have medical marijuana and 7 more coming down the pipeline, black people reside in all of these states.
no, everyone is not stuck in the consumer mindset. i cant speak for cacs but everyone else is focused on SELLING you a product. you wont find many people bragging about how they got over charged for some bullshyt clothes, weed, shoes, jewelry, etc like black folks.

and i dont need sources, i'm telling you directly that other groups are making insane money off this. my buddy has a shop in colorado thats making over 5 million a a year. just like you think we all should all get into 3d printing, i think a lot blacks need to get into growing marijuana--especially considering it teaches you basics of agriculture. because if you can grow weed, you can grow strawberries, tomatoes, and every other fruit or vegetable that comes out of the ground
