The U.S. legal marijuana industry is booming

http://money.cnn.com/2018/01/31/news/marijuana-state-of-the-union/index.html

Boy is it!.  The industry is Nationally poised to bring 21 Billion USD in 2018.  Yes that is 21 Billion greenbacks.  By the end of 2017 it employs 121,000 people.  The best part of these numbers is the fact that most of these dollars were being spent under the table on the black market before the ability to sell Mary Jane become legit, so that now States, long desperate for cash, now have a nice new stream of revenue to add to their coffers with out robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Take a look at the articles and the numbers.  It is amazing.  What is more amazing is that the Attorney General Jeff Sessions is legitimately opposed to legalized Marijuana and has mad moves to usurp States powers by rescinding the Cole Memo.  The Cole memo diverted the focus of the Feds efforts to enforce and prosecute parties involved in the legal Marijuana business.  Hopefully someone in Washington will pull their head out of the proverbial bucket and convert this black market industry into a legitimate and profitable business.
