  No, actually, I don't remember that, at all. It's been about business, science, startups, tech, and anything interesting to someone with a hacker mindset from the very first day (I was around then, I have absolute confidence that this article is not all that far from HN's traditional wheelhouse). Personally, I think there's a lot of interesting startups that will be enabled by legalization of marijuana...if you can't see the opportunities for tech in a burgeoning multibillion dollar industry...well...I dunno. I think it's an interesting change in the world; the kind that entrepreneurs love to spot early.

  If you think this doesn't relate to Tech, you must have never worked with programmers on the west coast.

    Or more generally, the insane amount of Tech now being developed around marijuana cultivation and distribution. Like the highly customizable automation system I just designed and installed in a legal grow house.

      This site seems to be mostly about tech and business (plus other things that interest "hacker culture"). You can tell that cannibis is on it's way to be a big business. The direction we are heading is full legalization nationwide which is going to open up a new industry. If the US legalizes this drug it will probably change the rest of the world because a lot of countries seem to follow many of our drug policies.
