the infrastructure already exists. it's really just a question of passing a few simple laws and stepping back. really.

but, from the business perspective - and i've pointed this out before - the biggest opportunity is less in the plan itself and more in the offshoot industries.

plastics, for example. we already grow billions of dollars of pot. we throw away 90% of the plant as a waste product. this could be used to make a far more environmentally friendly from of plastic. and, that is but one of a huge amount of examples.

the reality is that, if this is done intelligently, marijuana could very well become not just *an* important industry but the country's *most important* industry, pushing oil out of the way in terms of revenue, gdp and jobs.

i really hope that the government sees the biggest possible picture, here.
