I didn’t want to research if they were the first. The owners claimed it

There is 0 reason why anyone has to be topless to sell weed. Like seriously what’s the point?

Of coarse! Are you? You propose a silly notion like not using sex to sell things. Good luck with that. Even in the middle east men ogle over seeing ankles. Specifically because its part of the little amount of skin they can see. So it gets fetishized and turned into a point of objectification. The solution is thereby easy. Make nudity so commonplace it becomes unimportant. There’s a reason why indigenous tribes don’t starve to death from their men staring at their women all day instead of hunting. But you go ahead and try selling what you are selling. It only hasn’t worked ever.

“Purportedly“
OP’s an optimist.

And I willingly agreed to do so, once you prove your claim that you’d understand the research, since that’s in doubt based on the above. To use your analogy, you say there are 150 ft. salamanders outside, I insist you show research that the earth is flat, and you pause and ask if I’m an idiot and would even understand the concept of research, much less the specifics you’re asking for.
Accordingly, please provide the requested paragraphs. Once you’ve demonstrated that we’re having a discussion on good faith between reasonable people, I will present my research. If you cannot, I can only assume that we’re not having such a discussion, in which case I’m certainly not obligated to do all the work for you.

Unfortunately that's not how a discussion works. The person who makes the claim, you, is the one with the burden to prove the argument. If I say "hey there are 150ft salamanders outside" it is my job to prove that statement, not to then require others to provide different information to somehow back up my original claim. 🤷

What strippers would work there ? If they get a license, 5 years from now they”ll be laughing about how awful the the strip club business is.

Love all the local color you provided! Thanks! I did a deal in a nearby town with a guy who is the Kevin Mehann of that town, so I know exactly what you mean about him…

We call that "the usual" around these parts. Little rare you see the other two kinds.

I knew her. Nice woman actually. Believe she lost it in a car accident while her boyfriend at the time was driving (dont know who was at fault).

Our broker at fairway was really good and very quick to respond. She turned documents around quickly and helped us get our house in a crazy market. The rates were competitive but the service was excellent

Wait, topless but no dancing? Is there some law prohibiting the act of moving one’s body to music in a dispensary, while permitting toplessness?

They can apply at non topless places. Nobody, and I mean nobody is forcing them to work there.

Commodifying women's bodies isn't the same as feminist freedom of choice. The only reason a topless dispensary is even being considered a viable business option is because women's bodies are so heavily sexualized and objectified.

Yeah, and some women do it because they enjoy it and don't find it painful or shameful.
One of my friends was a stripper. She liked her job. No one put a gun to her head. She was a very fit lady and just didn't find her body shameful, and so she was quiet happy to be paid to show it off. She didn't need or want anyone like you to "save" her by taking away the option to be a stripper.
If we were really concerned about people being involved in involuntary sex work, we'd have a well regulated and legalized industry. Criminalizing sex work just means that criminals run sex work, police access is far more dangerous and unhelpful, and that there are no rules.
