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 Trump’s 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 politicians are really trying hard to get the citizens of this country doped up.

The only reason people think this is a good thing is that people will “spend more money” that can be taxed. No word on the costs associated with having a bunch of people buzzed who are driving, going to work, etc. If they weren’t spending that money on marijuana, they would be spending it on something else.
Listing the economic benefits of marijuana is the broken glass fallacy of economics for our time. It says that it doesn’t matter what people spend their money on, just so long as they do.

According to the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, Marijuana is still listed as a Schedule One entity. The same schedule as Heroin. Obviously, there is more money being made by keeping it illegal at the federal level.

Except that the product is illegal, this industry has great potential!
That’s what I gleaned from my cursory reading of the article.
