Curious that this shows up as an earlier thread shows:
Trump's DOJ gears up for crackdown on marijuana
The Trump administration is readying for a crackdown on marijuana users under Attorney General Jeff Sessions. President Trumps Task Force on Crime Reduction and Public Safety, led by Sessions, is expected to release a report next week that criminal justice reform advocates fear will link marijuana to violent crime and recommend tougher sentences for those caught growing, selling and smoking the plant.
States smell money in the form of new taxes, so this will push more states to consider the issue.

So I guess all these employees will be paid in cash as the industry cannot use banks?

There were an awful lot of “if”s and “Maybe”s in that article. I once looked up some Marijuana stocks out of curiosity. I wasn’t impressed. Oregon has legalized it, and I have 7 stores within a mile of my house. They all look like small outfits. I’m not aware of any chain stores for weed. Investing now without diligent research would be foolhardy.

The majority in most states wants it legal, and the states need money.
Obviously the legalization movement will continue to spread.

While the weed industry might create jobs, the money taken out of the existing economy will probably be a greater loss. The weed doesn’t contribute to the economy.

The fiscal potential for the legal cannabis industry is immense, IMO.
The surface of that potential has been barely scratched thus far.

“The weed doesnt contribute to the economy.”
Epic fallacy. Right now legal cannabis is creating both jobs & wealth for every day people. People working in the industry buy food, gas, pay their rent, etc just like folks who work in other legal industries do.
Once Fedzilla get’s out of the way & allows the legal cannabis industry to use the federal banking system it will explode with growth the economy will benefit from it.

Until DOJ goes after them.It's only temporary. After President Trump squanders an historical opportunity to Make America Great Again by allowing his useless Attorney General to refight the drug wars of the 80s, President Kamala Harris will throttle back on the D.A.R.E. nonsense and once again allow legal weed to flourish.

The weed doesnt contribute to the economy.The weed we buy from Mexico isn't contributing to the economy.

Then things should work out for you.

“Poppy is next.”
Absolutely not. Opium is physically addictive, and easily kills people via overdose. Marijuana does neither.
