Since cannabis is the biggest drug on the darknet, and if Darknet is repsonsible for getting cryptocurrency into the mainstream, then we can prove that Cannabis was completely neccisary to the success of Bitcoin. If it was not for cannabis being illegal, Darknets and bitcoin would hace never been in demand! Without cannabis being illegal, we would have never had an economy of value exchange because cannabis is its owm money. 
Hive account@mughat explained to me how an illicit futures market is not very easy to think about because theres no popular standardized drug products, meaning 1 gram of cocaine is always different purities but 1 gram of pure cocaine is the same as 1 gram of cocaine somewhere across the planet, just like Gold and silver... 99.999 fine silver is the standard and we ignore the negligable 0.001% but if we stand ot standardized but people dont care! So as cannabis cartridges become popular a 1 gram cartridge of at least 50% extract may end up being a possible standard. Or a 1 gram of cannabis at least 20%, but extracts work better. So we CAN try our best to create illicit futures markets that compare prices of all the dakrnet markets, and couod allow for "cocaine arbitrage" or "cannabis price arbitrage" And hey anyone buying cannabis here cheap and selling it double or triple elsewhere is basically doing arbitrage. Anyway The point is we will have steemcomnect weedmaps inetgrated systems that allow dispensaries to accept steem/sbd like Harbor Collective San Diegi is close to doing!
Comment below if you have studied the legal cannabis industry and have ideas for how Cannabis and crypto can reach lycrative synergy. A dispensary giving upvotes to users who leave steem reviews instead of weedmaps and yelp , thats just one example of how a dispensary can help customers/patients can rewarded and paid for smoking cannabis! A dream come true but if these users create more and more marketing and help promote the business and make tjem money, then those upvotes they gave out after buying SP was worth it!
