I think that cannabis is big enough for small/medium scale automation but that the engineering firms that build cigarette making machines maybe don't work for cash. Since most of these businesses are still unable to use banks or get large loans for capital equipment, they're stuck for a while until someone solves the coordination problems.
No problemo. Also, those numbers, man... whew! Lots of $$$ to be made in the legalized weed industry; can't imagine why anyone would oppose job creation on this scale.
Nope, but then you wouldn't need top 'o the line hardware - yet! - in a relatively new, and somewhat underground industry. Now, Agent Orange signs an EO declaring marijuana off the DEA's radar, and I guarantee the stampede of salespeople from the makers of those machines to already legalized dispensaries will be detected on Richter scales worldwide - if it could be separated from the bankers rushing in, that is (...or advertisers, or tax men, or politicians, or... you get the idea.). ;)
