In Pot We Profit

We've been watching the emerging signs in the West, especially God's Own Country (and Uruguay) -  the gradual decriminalization of marijuana:

• the realization of its endemic consumption;
• law enforcement's losing battle against weed on all fronts;
• the proliferation of clandestine growing operations;
• the call for legalizing medical marijuana;
• the desperate need for municipal and state revenues since 2008;
• municipal and state initiatives to legalize, regulate and tax the sale of marijuana;
• legalization justified on the grounds of quality control, "responsible sale", excluding criminal cartels;

And now...... here's what we see:

• Tourism Marijuana - that's right fags. Expect certain "liberal" clusters of legalized regulated weed in parts of God's Own Country to attract hordes of out-of-towners to bang and bong;
• Fraud Street - Marijuana derivatives anyone....? Marijuana Futures Index.....? Marijuana Mutual Funds....? Marijuana Options and Hedging Contracts....?  Why not....? Like soya beans, cotton, copper and pork bellies, pot is a commodity is it not....?  And it's not like it's high risk right.....?  After all grandma, grandpa, mom and dad and the kids have all tried it or are doing it;
• A surge of venture capital from newly minted "accredited investors" taking advantage of the recent changes in the US investments laws to invest directly in start-up companies; And FuelMix is gonna bet his cute muscled ass that they're gonna be some very interesting pot-fuelled startups in God's Own Country. We'd love to know what the "No smoking" and Passive Smoking policy in the workplace for these companies is going to be.........;
• Big Pharma getting in on the Pot act - you think they're gonna let this one slide....?? Yeah right. They're gonna produce high-potency chemical pot and start buying up arable land for weed production.  They have the pull and the politicians in their pocket;

Somehow, FuelMix knows he's right on this one.
