Not exactly swords to ploughshares. Marijuana plant opens in former tobacco factory

Earlier this month, WeedMD rang the bell at the Toronto Stock Exchange, heralding yet another investment opportunity for those who want to make money by selling smokes. In this case the investment is for (yet) another licensed producer of medical marijuana. The starting gate for the full commercialization of this drug is beginning to get a little crowded.

A footnote on on the news story was that WeedMD is operating out of the Imperial Tobacco processing plant in Aylmer, Ontario. It's been 10 years since Imperial Tobacco closed this 21 acre facility. That's potential for one very big grow-op!
