Wanda James sold more cannabis two weeks ago than she usually does on April 20 — the day many marijuana users have come to consider their holiday — after Denver's mayor announced that recreational cannabis shops like hers would have to shut down to help slow the spread of the coronavirus.
"There was a huge rush. It felt like people were starting to hoard," said James, who opened her shop, Simply Pure, in 2016."Everyone was buying cannabis and toilet paper."because they were getting swarmed by anxious customers, causing long lines that violated social distancing guidelines, her sales have fallen off a cliff.
People stand in freshly painted circles, six-feet-apart, as they wait in a two-hour line to buy marijuana products from Good Chemistry on March 23, 2020 in Denver.James says her store should have the same opportunities for federal financial relief that other small businesses are getting to help them through the crisis, such as thethat have legalized medical or recreational marijuana can't qualify for the assistance because the federal government still considers their product illegal.
Sounds like it’s time for a Grass-roots campaign

Now this is wonderful! Makes my heart leap with joy because it is a drug and marijuana use is addictive. Just ask me how I know. I know because I have a 19 year old who is addicted.
Legalize pot now! uscongress
The don't need or deserve relief. They have piles of cash.
If states allowed mail delivery then they could save the weed stores (which let's be honest, is the only thing making money that goes back into communities) and they could save the post office. If the fed gov can't protect the people then states need to step up
