PFD POT LICENSEES

Mr. Guaneli's Jan. 31 column on marijuana was well written. One of 
the ways to keep marijuana on a smaller level is to limit who can 
receive a license to grow or sell marijuana and its products.

The politicians are talking about licensing on the model of alcohol, 
which would be a disaster. We do not need marijuana licenses held by 
corporations which control the market and limit competition by 
economic force. Instead marijuana licenses should be held only by 
individuals who are qualified and do receive an Alaska Permanent Fund 
dividend. They should be for a nominal fee, such as $25, and nontransferable.

These limits mean no corporations, limited liability corporations or 
partnerships could hold licenses. The limit to PFD recipients means 
no one from Outside could hold a license. If you limited operations 
to when the license holder was present, similar to a limited entry 
permit, then it would limit marijuana operations to smaller operations.
