Respect of the closure of the season is a must but telling establishments to dispose of their inventory is a bunch of crap they need to get with the program. If a business stocks it up to take them thru the closure is nothing wrong with that. Am pretty sure it can be imported too to keep business that use it going too. Yess it should not be caught during these times but telling them other wise is a bunch of crap. Come on get with the program
