The Future of Weed: High Country

[RandiFan1290]

In HIGH COUNTRY, Motherboard heads to Denver--ground zero for cannabis legalization, and home to a booming tech sector in what could be called the Silicon Valley of weed--to inhale the newest high-tech highs. We visit the key players scaling up this new green tech, wrap our heads around all the money to be made, crack open the confusing science of America's No. 1 cash crop, and smoke dabs.

1. I can't wait for weed to be legalized. Mainly for the commercials.

Image what it will be like when different companies start to compete with each other on who has the best shit.

I picture a spokesman like Willie Nelson holding up a brand and saying, "You want to get REALLY shitfaced? This is the good shit, okay? You wont be able to find your ass with both hands."

2. The more I see of the medicinal information about this plant, the clearer the reason to move

forward to providing access to those who need this plant.

3. People have always wanted to have something like this since the beginning of time. It's

part of human nature. Pot is good for medical purposes, and also far better than gut wrenching health destroying alcohol which also releases in many aggressive behavior. It always amazes me when some shit-faced person on alcohol tells me they never do drugs. Yet another WTF.

It's all about money, as usual. When the profiteers can start to see big profits and decriminalization the shift will be pushing pot than alcohol ... and politicians will see $$$$$ persuasion. The little guys, those wanting a little pot from their back yard? They will be criminalized because the big guys and gov. want all the $$$$$. It will be the same as with alcohol and moonshiners.

I hope the US grows up (been hoping that for decades) and decriminalizes pot. Again, it's all about $$$$$ and who gets it.

Thanks for your post! It's very encouraging!
