Former Microsoft Executive Plans Premium Pot Business (cannabisculturemag - Dec 2012)

Former Microsoft manager Jamen Shively wants to create the first national brand of retail marijuana and to open pot trade with Mexico.

Shively plans to announce that and more in a Thursday news conference he says will feature Vicente Fox, the former president of Mexico.

“Let’s go big or go home,” Shively said. “We’re going to mint more millionaires than Microsoft with this business.”

He says he’s acquiring medical-marijuana dispensaries in Washington and Colorado, he said, and plans to become the leader in both the medical and adult-recreational pot markets. He sees the marijuana market as the only one of its size in which there does not exist a single established brand.

He and Fox plan to announce a proposal for regulating the trade of marijuana between the two countries, he said.
