“For the better part of 30 years, due to the war on drugs suppoted by prohibition, marijuana production was driven indoors, away from peering eyes. The advances that were made in technologically-driven growing have been impressive to say the least. This is, in fact, one of the reasons that drug company resistance to marijuana [legalization] is likely to fail.

A political consensus will drive drug legalization forward; technological innovations will boost productivity and the bottom line. This is a powerful combination.”
