Marijuana is less of a dangerous drug than alcohol.

Banks are controlled by the Federal Govt, which controls banking laws. Hard to run and manage a business without access to legal banking. Some solutions have come forward thanks to California and Colorado blazing the trail.

We just need to get enough states to see the recreational, adult, uses for marijuana and legalize it.

Sadly, my state will likely be one of the last to see the light. Even a medical use bill failed here last year for extreme situations. So sad.

The most interesting thing I found from Dennis Rodman's trip to NK last week was that he was sponsored by a Potcoin, a cryptocurrency for marijuana transactions. This could be a solution that the industry has come up with, since the banks cannot deal with their transactions.

This is why cryptocurrencies have so much potential - they take control of currencies out of the hands of the government and major institutions, and put it in the hands of the people.

absolutely. Never met a violent pothead. Met TONS of violent drunks. There is also proof coming out that MJ can also slow down alzheimer's. That's a drug that Japan could use.

"Control" Strangerland, are in fact venture capitalists, corporate institutions, hedge funds, my customers whose requirements - reconciliation, audit, and compliance application development, the core technology's of Blockchain that underpin that "control," data integrity, verification and manage the platform and transactions.

The "people" as will always be defined and quantified as end users. The cryptocurrency could be pot, bit, or fact any three letter word, storage of funds through other financial activities facilitate the risks.

I'm having a hard time understanding the point you are trying to make. I'm unclear if it's an attempt to refute what I said, or agree with it.

Apologies I thought you were aware that blockchain technology controls the verification process behind the transactions of cryptocurrency's. Corporate institutions and investment banking (Goldman Sachs) are the main players in the development of cryptocurrency trading platform. It is not a question of refuting your point, it's the awareness of not being as free of interference as many believe.
