I've heard rumors, that Monsanto is behind the legalization of marijuana, planing to sell seeds, fertilizers and herbicides. Is there any truth behind this rum

  It would not surprise me if many large agri-tech companies had plans for if/when it becomes fully legal from production to consumption in more places. However I have definitely heard lots of conspiracy-theory type stuff coming from the more crunchy end of the pro-pot spectrum. Some of them even actively resist legalisation because they don't want 'corporations' involved in the trade. Personally, I think the greater virtue is getting rid of our terrible laws and war on drugs, we can sort out marketplace ethics later.

    It amazes me that some people prefer the DEA and for-profit prisons to corporations. At least Monsanto doesn't show up in your home unannounced in the middle of the night and shoot your dog.

      Not unless you're growing corn without a license.

  There is only one lab in the US with a federal license to grow marijuana. It isn't Monsanto. So I doubt Monsanto has a stock of superior seeds, just ready to take over the market. http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/05/18/government.marijuana.garden/index.html?eref=rss_us http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/05/18/government.marijuana.gar...

  I'm sure every agg company + tobacco have plans for when/if marijuana becomes legal on the federal level. It is simply good business sense to be ready.
