12/06/2003: Stuff That Doesn't Suck
Founder of Internet Casinos Plans to Establish the World's First Publicly Traded Marijuana Company.
By Charles Mandel, Wired
Online gambling pioneer Warren Eugene is rolling the dice again. This time the founder of Internet Casinos plans to establish the world's first publicly traded marijuana company. Eugene said he plans to list Medical Cannabis Inc. on the Toronto TSX Venture Exchange and on Nasdaq.
"The stock can go sky-high,'' said Eugene. "The company views the current prohibition of marijuana as similar to that of alcohol and tobacco. If (liquor baron) Sam Bronfman were alive today, he might very well be lobbying the government for bonded cannabis warehouses."
