"Two weeks before the election is when all the action starts. We have medical marijuana on the ballot in Arkansas, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New York, Massachusetts, and Ohio. You have industrial hemp on the ballot in Colorado, New Hampshire, New Jersey and New Mexico. Then they're trying to legalize the recreational use of marijuana in Colorado, Washington and Oregon. The activist organizations (Marijuana Policy Project, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, Americans for Safe Access, NORML and many other groups) that run the campaigning for legalization have a very particular strategy. Predictable, none-the-less. They wait until 2 weeks before the election and then start a massive media campaign... an all-out blitz to educate people so they can vote yes. This doesn't allow the opposition time to respond with their negative and false propaganda. The opposition can be the prison guard union that can lose 800,000 prisoners a year who are incarcerated for marijuana. Consequently, the massive media campaigning makes people outside our industry aware of this huge industry that's growing phenomenally. Now you have everyone looking for investment opportunities in an industry that's soaring.
