"They (MPP) were concerned that the liquor industry would come in and oppose the petition so they thought, well, if we bring them in and let them be part of it then they’ll support and won’t fight it on the ballot."

- State Senator Tick Segerblom on why there will be a three tier system, as there is for alcohol, for recreational marijuana. This will amount to a 10% tax. The Marijuana Policy Project was concerned that the liquor industry might mount a ten million dollar campaign to defeat the initiative unless they were included.
