“I do say it would be a nice thing if we could raise enuff Hemp to pay our rates,” John Adams said in 1763 – before becoming a founding father of the United States. A few years on, there were queues this week to buy even small amounts of the stuff in Colorado. On January 1 the state became the first in the US to host legal marketplaces in recreational marijuana. Although federal law still forbids pot sales, Washington state will follow in 2014. Investors may also see this trend as a nice thing.
1763年,尚未成为美国“国父”的约翰•亚当斯(John Adams)说道:“我真的认为,如果我们能够种植足够的大麻来支付我们的薪资,那真是再好不过了。”很多年过去了,本周美国科罗拉多州购买小剂量大麻的顾客排起了长队。今年1月1日,科罗拉多州成为美国首个为消遣用大麻提供合法市场的州。尽管联邦法律仍禁止大麻销售,但华盛顿州将在2014年效仿科罗拉多州的做法。投资者也可能将这种趋势视为一件好事。
