I am not sure if I am ready for the conglmorate take over of cannabis.

However, there needs to be standards as well. Hopefully, we can create a market that is not absent of independent growers.

Too late.... it's been happening for several months now....

Coke, Coors, Pepsi, and several others have already started to aquire small start ups in legal states

It is the natural order of things and probably a crucial step on the path to legalization. I started moving some of my IRA money to tobacco stocks earlier this year.

I don't think corporate distribution will have much impact on home growers in the US. We can make beer/wine at home and grow our own tobacco as well. Just like home tomato gardeners don't really impact Heinz ketchup business, I doubt if home grown ganja will cut into the Marlboro man's head stash.

On the other hand, the Marlboro man's wallet will probably buy quite a few politicians votes.

I would grow illegally forever before ever giving that company a cent for legal bud!
