met him once at a pot thing and the dude was so coked outa his mind.

Complain to the government, they snagged a couple of fraudsters today - obviously they are doing their job (thankfully!) :)

Hows cannabis coin going?
The weed industry i think could be a massive market for bitcoin or another crypto.

If the fed banks are still refusing to take their cash then crypto is about the best option they have left.
Some weed shops have huge safes with massive amounts of cash because the banks are not allowed to touch it.
I have even seen a doco on these shops 'washing' their cash so there is no smell or residue on it.

Bitcoin should be the main currency of bud shops.
Weed could be the BTC killer app, lol .
