A California landscape grower last year told me there was not much profit growing drought tolerant plants and he was moving to Colorado to start a cannabis farm. It was unthinkable that we are getting closer than ever to the consumers- the legalization of cannabis.


Today, there are 23 states which have legalized marijuana for medical use and 4 other states and District of Columbia have legalized recreation cannabis.

A number of states are scheduled to vote on legalization ballot initiatives this coming November, including California, Florida and Ohio, which is deciding on legalization of recreational use. If the California ballot initiative goes through, the most populous state will become largest marijuana consumers markets in the world!

 

It is only natural to think of business potential opportunities. According to some business entrepreneurial estimate (e.g.420 Investor on weeds) this can be a $6.5 billion dollar business and the first wave business owner will prosper. In fact, Walgreen is not afraid to start educating  consumers and hint they could in fact put it behind the counter or on the shelf (Walgreens selling what?). I have seen shop owners looking for a realtor to strike a deal with landlords in leasing stores selling them in several South Bay.   Time will tell when one will see shelves at these chain stores stocked with them.

Very very interesting. Never saw this coming 20 yrs ago. It shows how much of our Country are Pot Smokers or users. It went from battling to legalize it for Medical purposes only to now including the recreational use? amazing.

Good afternoon Sam,

One is always looking for a cure all or the ultimate pain reliever!

Personally have never tried cannibis or any drug for that matter.

Hopefully history does not repeat itself and we go the route of the Roman Empire.

Make yourself an astonishing day.

It sounds like we are starting to see the real reasons for legalizing it-it is a profitable business and more tax dollars will come from it.  I don't agree with it being legalized & have never tried it.  I am sure I am one of the few.  If someone truly needs it, then that's fine but I have seen first hand the harm it does.
