They're even more interesting... on weed.

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.

Ultimately Congress needs to change the law.

"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.

I am not sure what you are trying to say. Unless one fails to pay property tax, the state doesn't seize all of a business's assets like the DEA can.

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.
