Not sure what facts could go hand in hand, but I'm sure there could be some effective or catchy slogans. I really think Bitcoin could blossom in the legal cannabis industry, especially with most banks refusing to work with dispensaries etc, but sadly that also includes many Bitcoin payment processors too. I wonder if a Bitcoin friendly one will emerge who will find a way to issue payments without a bank. I reckon there's massive profits to be made if one arises that gets around the issues as the cannabis industry only seems to growing larger and larger at the moment. I hope the Federal government just doesn't try crush it at one point.

This is an opportunity that will only get bigger as more and more marijuana businesses open and as more states allow mmj or legal marijuana period. The problems with the exchanges is a very real issue but there are plenty of p2p methods available that have faster cashout times/higher rates of return than using a standard exchange would. The issue comes from having a federal MSB license afaik. Which is probably why exchanges like coinbase wont take MMJ business money.
