US WA: Ex-Microsoft Manager Wants To Create Marijuana Sales

Boston Herald, 18 Jun 2013 – Jamen Shively , a 45-year-old former Microsoft manager, wants to build a cannabis empire in Washington state, where pot was legalized last fall, saying he was tired of waiting for a green light from the Obama administration, which still hasn’t said how it will respond to the legalization of recreational pot in Washington and Colorado. Shively vowed to quickly raise $10 million and eventually build his company, Diego Pellicer, into an international pot powerhouse. – -Staff and Wire reports. – — MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
