Charlie, I would really like to know what you think about the US federal government legalizing marijuana? I fear the tribe might be behind this. Is it a good idea...probably not in the long run. If you get to watch the show on-line, perhaps you might like to address it. Here's an excerpt.
Very soon in America marijuana will be slickly branded and sold by men in suits - or at least the multi-million dollar companies they’re setting up to cash in on the state-by-state legalization of dope.
It’s happening in states that have long embraced a system enabling the dispensing of medical marijuana. Colorado’s gone legal. Next month Washington State will become the second state to fully legalise marijuana.
Just like alcohol, if you’re over 21 you’ll be able to buy it.
In anticipation of the new laws, big businesses are jockeying for the jump in this booming market. New products and gadgets are being developed and refined. They’re polishing marketing and sales strategies and defining their brands, much like cigarettes, for retail release.
A report commissioned for the White House says the medical and illicit cannabis industry is worth $40B per year. Cannabis Inc. is busily convincing state legislatures and the federal Government as well that $40B is better off out of the black market and in the sight of the taxman.
America’s new-wave of pot entrepreneurs couldn’t be more different to those of the past. They’ve ditched the hippy-clothes, rasta-plaits and pony-tails for thousand-dollar suits, business plans and MBAs.
Yale grads Brendan Kennedy and Michael Blue have started America’s first private equity company, Privateer Holdings, dedicated entirely to the cannabis sector.
