Pharmaceutical companies lobby all the time to keep MJ a class one drug (AKA no medical benefits) What would they do without the money 60 million Ambien prescriptions generate. Pharma corporations are always in the top 5 when it comes to presidential donations.

The marriage of semi-legal pot and digital crypto currency is coming.
The federal government will not be happy.

Fallout from the ensuing response will affect everyone.
Second and third order effects...

Here is something else, and you know all about the technology of tracking in your business, they show the grow rooms where these plants are being grown. The plants are tagged from the inception of the seed germinating or clones being produced and are tracked through the entire process from beginning to point of sale and onward until every last penny of tax...and penalties ( inevitably coming into play,as when there is a question on something it will be on the grower/ business until they can prove otherwise) are paid. In Colo. I am hearing these taxes will generate 60 million extra dollars in tax revenues which opens up it's own issues. How long will it be before that technology is applied to all manufacturing and other economic matters? How much will that add to the cost of goods and services? The companies that develop these tracking products will be lobbying hard for expanded opportunities.

Whatever happened to K.I.S.S.?

There is a very simple solution.
Require a license (tax) for a person to engage in commerce...at all.

Of course there would need to be a way to distinguish those who may engage in commerce from those may not.
Perhaps a mark of some sort...
