Too bad there isn't an existing industry based on smoking dried, rolled up plant leaves that they could compare themselves to. Heck, if they realized such an industry existed, they could disrupt it.
- fapjacks 11y agoYou're right, and that's how I've always put the potential industry into perspective internally, but it would be suicide for cannabis producers to compare themselves to tobacco producers (or by attempting to "disrupt" it). The perception of cannabis is that it's "juvenile". The perception of tobacco is that it will kill you.
- cafard 11y agoBack in the 1970s somebody wrote a novel, Acapulco Gold, about roughly this situation. I suppose that it is long out of print, but it shouldn't be hard to find on Amazon. Edit: Actually, I think it was about Big Tobacco disrupting the cannabis business, not vice-versa.
- sanderjd 11y agoIt seems incredibly likely that Big Tobacco will eventually dominate the cannabis business. The current protection is that the legal environment is still to fraught for corporations of that stature to take the risk.
- WildUtah 11y ago"an existing industry based on smoking" Nobody wants to be compared to an industry that kills millions, ruins lives, and addicts children. Weed dealers have a reputation to protect.
