Hopefully it will be decriminalized/legalized and what have you..... but how can a company or business the sells an illegal substance (at the US Federal Level and almost all county's on planet earth) be traded on the US Stock Market.

watched a show last week ... historically they've had to deal in cash due to banking being federally regulated. some lady in Colorado started a credit union specifically for people in that industry. she said they did two billion last year.

I don't doubt the sales and profits for a moment....  marijuana sales will save the state of CA and keep all those lofty State/County/City pensions paid for......   I just don't understand how an illegal commodity can be traded on the US Stock Market.

Now we will be buying oil from foreign countries because we will not have a surplus to sell. Makes sense to me. 

 

The United States has been importing foreign oil since forever, nothing new, at least not during our lifetimes. It wasn't until the early 70's that a wakeup call came in the form of OPEC.... the "why" is a whole other story that involves Israel.... or course. Not sure how many are aware, but Saudi reportedly purchased SHELL a year or so back. They pulled the plug on their Louisiana refinery just last year. Importing oil is nothing new, except that US drilling was made a little harder and the pipeline for Canada's heavy sludge export was temporarily postponed,... again.

 

It's purely political and has much more to do with $$ than the environment or alternative energy sources.....  The O&G industry contributes heavily to team RED and the polluting "Green Energy" industry gives their kick-backs to team BLUE. Politics.....   same as it ever was.
