The pro-marijuana movement needs powerful capitalists to support legalization. That is the only way things get done in the USA. Big Money for politicians and businessmen means full legal and tax system support!
Think about the headline. Starbucks has the logistical infrastructure to source and deliver marijuana to virtually the whole world. The already get the beans from the same countries where marijuana is grown (but it should be a sell it where you grow it license only.)
Several have thought of this idea. You go in all times of the day and get your fix.
Why would Starbucks be against legalized marijuana if they could SELL IT!

They are not idealogues. They are capitalists. If the weed was sourced organically, and the farmers were paid well, and it was a sustainable model, they would SUPPORT it wholeheartedly.
In California, Marijuana Dispensaries Outnumber Starbucks
The sale of marijuana for medicinal purposes has been legal in California for the past 13 years. Now, close to 1,000 dispensaries are selling marijuana in Los Angeles. Local authorities are talking about shutting down a lot of these operations. Host Michel Martin finds out more with N-P-R Correspondent Mandalit del Barco.
The sale of marijuana for medicinal purposes has been legal in California for the past 13 years. Now in Los Angeles, alone, there are close to 1,000 dispensaries currently selling pot. But local authorities are now talking about shutting down many of these operations. To talk more about this topic, we hear from NPR correspondent Mandalit del Barco. Over the next several weeks, we're going to be checking in with Mandalit to hear about all things West Coast, and she's joining us now from our studios at NPR West. Welcome, Mandalit. Welcome back.
DEL BARCO: Well, Michel, in the past year or so, the number of medical marijuana dispensaries, as you say, has exploded. There's estimates of 800 or 900 storefront shops. In fact, we have reported on NPR that in some neighborhoods, there are more medical marijuana dispensaries than Starbucks, if you can believe that.
