"affirming the antecedent" much?

for as much cheddar to be raked in, i bet they're still making orders of magnitude less than public services expenditures toward obesity-related issues.

hey, man, those fatties can put whatever they want in their bodies, and i'm sure it has mood-enhancing attributes, too.

. “It’s a really interesting phenomena that’s happening,” Resnick tells The Daily Beast. While the first three months will likely be inflated by pot tourists gunning to “see it first,” the months following will be a better indicator of the overall economic impact.

$$$$$

I'm curious to see the stats on how much they are saving on the criminal prosecution side of things as well.
Wow, $100 is cheap. In Oregon I think it's $150 +$50 if you list a caregiver and the "doctor visit" will cost you $250 cash. You need a doctors visit and renew every year plus they closed the self service window downtown so it's all via mail now. Or so I've heard.

Holder: Marijuana Businesses Need Access to Banking

First, operating an all-cash business is a logistical nightmare; second, as U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder put it: “There’s a public safety component to this. Huge amounts of cash — substantial amounts of cash just kind of lying around with no place for it to be appropriately deposited is something that would worry me, just from a law enforcement perspective.” Holder, it appears, was listening when Brown made his appeal in Denver.

High pressure sodium and metal halide lamps sales might see a dramatic increase in sales.

Marijuana Goes Mainstream with Home Delivery



If you can start a pizza parlor that also sells weed, you could make BANK$$$$$
Not a new idea. My buddy ran a weed delivery biz in NYC fifteen years ago. Back when I was growing we delivered everything by bike messenger.

Back in college in (OH, 19 drinking age) liquor stores used to deliver to our dorms as long as 'food' was part of the order. A keg and a single slim Jim were a popular order on weekends until the school shut that down.

Agreed, not "new" but what is "new" is it can be done legit. There are also venture capital firms looking to back ventures like this. It's not a couple dudes selling out of an apartment.

seeing how CO is a right to work state, can't see this being an issue.

if my employer needs to reduce their staff by exactly 1 $tinkle, then that's that.

Were you doing it to raise money to post bail for your friend who accidentally fed a diabetic police horse a ton of sugary treats?

Members of Congress Call on President Obama to Use His Authority to Reclassify Marijuana

“Classifying marijuana as Schedule I at the federal level perpetuates an unjust and irrational system,” read the Congressional letter. “Schedule I recognizes no medical use, disregarding both medical evidence and the laws of nearly half of the states that have legalized medical marijuana.” In a separate statement, the letter’s lead author Congressman Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) said that reclassifying marijuana “is a step the administration can take to start to rationalize federal marijuana policy to bring it in line with the advances that are happening in the states.”

The Obama Administration May Have Just Sparked a Marijuana Tidal Wave

POW!

The marijuana industry just got a critical boost in its effort to become a massive and completely legitimate business. On Friday, two federal law-enforcement agencies released coordinated statements clearing the way for banks to take deposits from and offer financial services to marijuana producers and retailers without fear of prosecution for money laundering.
