Dec 6 - marlboro parent company gets ready to invade the weed industry smh
![]() ![]() For years, cannabis conspiracy theorists floated images of packs of Marlboro brand joints to illustrate the extent that corporations could conquer the marijuana industry once the drug was legalized. With Monday’s announcement by Reuters that Marlboro and Virginia Slims’ parent company Altria is discussing investment opportunities with Canadian cannabis firm Cronos Group, those alarmist tactics have become a reasonable approximation of the future of pot consumption.
Cannabis is not the only savior to which the tobacco market is turning. Last week, the Wall Street Journal broke the news that Altria is also looking to acquire “a significant minority stake” in prosperous e-cigarette company Juul. Daily e-cigarette users are on the rise in the United States—2.8 percent of the total population, according to some studies.
Marlboro’s parent company is far from the only large corporation that seems to be placing its bets on the green. Molson Coors, Walmart, Pepsi, and Coca Cola are all household names that have publicly flirted with the possibility of creating cannabis products. The message is clear: Corporate cannabis is no longer the stuff of supposition, but rather a rapidly encroaching reality | |||

Weed already has addictive properties. You go through mini withdrawals. I don't think that's the concern here though. There's already concern about the additives in so called medical weed. This is a can of worms smart people will avoid. Since we can grow our own...

they have been prepping for this for over a decade, maybe even longer...when the first rumblings of weed legalization in states were happening...I guess there are enough states where weed is legal and they can now role out and profit...I knew someone who was a research scientist for the company years ago, and she told me about 8 years ago they were developing a weed "cigarette" (no tobacco purly herb) that would get you high for 10 minutes and than it would fade away gradually...the goal...hoping that people start chain smoking weed cigarettes like they did tobacco cigarettes

This is how capitalism works.
If we don’t want their product then don’t buy the product. We need to keep these corporations out of everything. Tell everybody you know don’t buy anything connected to them at all. Make a campaign if needed. Spin it back on them . “Just say NO, to corporate Weed”. Only buy from the small companies that were there from the start. |

As long as they aren't allowed to cut it the way cigs are. Then there shouldn't be a problem.
