I agree. I think there is definitely a space for boutique types of places.
I think production will still allow for small players that are willing to cater to quality.
That being said, the tobacco companies have quietly looked into commercial cultivation in warehouse settings. They know that the market will be segmented along quality lines and they won't get caught slipping. Legalized marijuana is a lifeline for them to continue to be huge profitable companies. People are smoking less tobacco and with the increasing regulations on them, marijuana is where they will have to go.
Retailers are going to have a hard time differentiating themselves and establishing a nationwide brand though.
