The future is unwritten and if, how, and when major mainstream brands enter the marijuana fray remains a giant question mark that no one knows the answer to. If Whole Foods eventually could legally sell organic flowers in its produce section, there’s little doubt it would become a massive cash crop and success.

As a staunch Whole Foods supporter and patron, I love seeing hemp-derived products on the shelves when I enter the store. But seeing edibles and flowers next to my chicken salad doesn’t sound that appetizing.

All told major corporations have far too much to lose by going green, even in a legal market. The mom and pop nature of cannabis and proper organic marijuana remain important to our culture. While the corporatizing of cannabis is inevitable and already occurring in legal markets, I sincerely hope that companies don’t tread on what people have been doing for centuries out of love.

But if anyone can grow good, organic weed, it would certainly be Whole Foods.
