But this is the land of the opportunist. If there's a niche, there's an entrepreneur willing to fill it. > People don't tend to smoke as much pot as tobacco (most > people at least).

See, I would look at it from a different perspective. Think about milk. Up here (western NY) there are lots of dairies that all sell their milk to a co-op. The co-op in turn actually handles the distribution to businesses that sell the product. If marijuana is so easy to produce, farmers might consider going the same route for their delivery. There are co-ops that are then bought by companies or that incorporate themselves. Maybe I'm thinking too much into this, looking too far down a potential time line. I've been designing a new app today so that may be what's causing me to mind's eye everything today.
