Is this true?

The problem is, irrespective of whether medical marijuana is acceptable/good or not, there are a lot of irresponsible actors in this still immature industry that should remain SMALL for the good our society.

There has been no leadership change. It has focused over the years on a few at the expense of many. The mass exodus years ago in the residential segment was caused by a lack of leadership and a plan. The resentment from the residential segment may not ever heal...and leadership needs to own that.

How do you get a consensus within the appraiser population on what they want?
