For a long time cannabis has been considered a societal scourge, a gateway drug that leads to harder substance abuse\u2015or, at the very least, a detriment that leads to cotton mouth, an empty bag of Doritos, and a wasted afternoon on the couch in front of the television. But slowly the plant and its use have been gaining some credibility, especially in the medical and creative fields, and as states are easing their laws regarding cannabis, businesses are starting to envision the possibility of an entirely new, multi-faceted industry opening up in the country.<\/p>\n
