Reasons to consider avoiding Multi-State Operators:

1. They don't care about people, they care about profits.
2. They often treat their employees like dirt and pay even less.
3. They pay lobbyists top dollar to advocate against the best interests of medical patients and the general public, time and time again. One such example is Green Thumb Industries (GTI, RISE dispensaries) lobbyists delaying the passage of ILHB2911, ensuring medical patients continue having difficulty accessing nearby cannabis products tax-free and retaining their partial monopoly over medical cannabis in their territories of Illinois.
4. They use pesticides and fungicides, even on indoor grows. They justify it by ceasing their application a few weeks before harvest, as if that's enough to fully prevent any unwanted chemicals from entering your body.
5. They often machine trim flower instead of paying professionals to hand-trim (too costly for them, cuts into profits). Machine trimming inherently shakes and cuts away some of the trichomes and resin, resulting in a worse quality product.
