Toke 1: Microsoft moves into Legal Weed bizness [View all]

According to 'The Next Web' report that was posted 22 hours agovyesterday ( too late for LBN) - as per the title"Microsoft is getting into legal weed business".

WOW!

Specifically, the article quotes Microsoft that:

The goal of this relationship is to leverage each company’s resources to provide State, County, and Municipalities with purpose built solutions for track and trace (‘seed to sale’ in the cannabis industry) technology,” Kind said in the statement"


The article concludes:


It's one of the most tightly-regulated in the country, it’s mostly devoid of investment funds and it still resides in a sort of government-created purgatory as states (where it’s legal) fight against the federal government (where it’s not).
