November 27, 2013 - "This isn’t an experiment anymore: legal pot is one of the fastest growing markets in the country. One investment group estimates that more than $1.43 billion in legal pot will be sold in 2013, and $2.34 billion in the coming year.

"And there appear to be some legitimate opportunities right around the corner."
