I'm so glad that you are writing about the cash side of the cannabis industry in Colorado -- that side of it has always intrigued me -- and I can't wait to read Light it Up. Living up here in Colorado, I am surprised I don't read about weekly heists of all the cash revenues -- even the t-shirt/souvenir shops at dispensaries can only take cash.

I also really love HOW I BUILT THIS, another podcast about people who have started companies or social movements. <br /><br />Tales of the harrowing early years, and all the challenges these folks faced, make me feel better about my own challenges. All too often we hear only about the fabulous stuff -- hello, Facebook! -- but the real lessons are in the ongoing hardships. I loved a short bit about the founder of Burton Snowboards heading off on a sales trip with 28 snowboards and coming home with 30!

The pot business is incredibly lucrative, but also risky, not just from the cash aspect but from an enforcement standpoint -- as the Attorney General's recent announcement makes clear. Also, as more folks are getting into the business with this gold-rush mentality, competition is going up and wholesale prices are going down.

Only because I am tired of his general snark about Texas. I had no idea about the problems with the cannabis business. We know someone who moved to Colorado to grow the stuff but don't know how they're making out. That is just so strange that it has to be an all cash business. That just screams trouble in the making.
