Maybe Bill would have considered a buyout early on, and he may consider it still.  I don't believe that will be the case though. No one, maybe not even Bill himself, realized early on how much potential this company would have in the industry. To have the chance to build one of the top MMJ (and maybe hemp) distributing businesses in the world and become the face of that, I believe, is too much incentive to not want to be bought out. In agreement that it is more likely to take longer to reach 5 billion though, but I don't doubt for one second that it will if all goes according to plan.
