Some people are planning to apply the high tech startup business model to marijuana sales. That should present some interesting legal and business issues. What do you think?
I'm wondering what type of startups will appear in this space. Obviously an uber-type delivery service, as well as price-tracking tools.
Any product would be a boon to advertisers, since after using it, the advertisers would have an ahem captive audience... can't wait to see Cheetos funding a weed-startup incubator.
At the end of the day, the Fed can seize all assets on a business touching marijuana. There are numerous activists with deep pockets eager to test the laws in court.
"The Fed can seize all assets on a business touching marijuana" ... and the state of Washington could probably inspect and seize for minor infractions shipping containers at one of the busiest port operations in North America. But they don't, because it wouldn't be in their enlightened self-interest.
This will be interesting. Time to make the popcorn.

Ultimately Congress needs to change the law.
