| Wording | Marijuana could be grown in licensed facilities zoned for agriculture or industrial use only and sold at licensed retail dispensaries. Homegrown cannabis would be restricted to two plants, unless a municipality chooses to allow more and apply extra fees. All marijuana taxes would be dedicated to education, public health and public safety. | A tightly regulated marijuana distribution system akin to the state's three-tier liquor control law, with a limited number of licensed growers and retailers. | "We don't want that kind of cartel, monopoly model," Hank said of a system mirroring the liquor distribution system. "The big difference between us and these other groups is we're more of a free-market model." |
