A
recent brouhaha between Starbucks Coffee and marijuana legalization
advocates raises an important question for the broader business
community: Can major national companies be successful absent the
patronage of marijuana consumers and others who support marijuana
policy reform?
Not too long ago, it was absolutely necessary for businesses to
maintain an appearance of opposition to marijuana use and legalization.
But the times they are a-changin', and it is beginning to seem like
many major companies are striving to maintain an appearance of NOT
opposing marijuana use and legalization.
