美國的未來:笑傲江湖的大數據與大麻
你聽說過大數據，但你聽說過大麻嗎？無論是大數據還是大麻在很大程度上都影響著商業世界，所以能很好利用這兩者優勢的企業都會很成功。
大麻對企業及企業客戶的積極影響，在接下來的幾年將會隨著它在全美的合法化而大大釋放; 這雖是一個假設，卻非常現實。
大麻對企業的正麵影響
那我們這裏所說的影響究竟是什麼樣的影響？和大家想的不一樣的是，當大麻合法化後，全國的大麻癮君子(potheads)不會給社會帶來更大麻煩。事實上，他們更有可能是在晚上坐在篝火旁，抽一兩管大麻，討論如何將和平重新帶回到我們的社會。
對商界而言，大麻合法化的好處肯定會在經濟上得到體現。單大麻銷售所得稅就會大大刺激全美經濟，因為這已經在華盛頓和科羅拉多州發生。
你知道嗎，大麻在美國科羅拉多州合法化的第一天, 其銷售就超過100萬美元。這筆錢非常可觀，再加上該州所收的29%的州稅稅率，你就可以清楚地看到這對經濟有多麼顯著提升，而且這種提升隻會越來越多。
搭上大麻快車
華盛頓州和科羅拉多州不僅種植‘綠色’（的大麻植物），而且從中獲得綠色美鈔。所以是時候讓美國的其他地方實行大麻合法化了。即使有些州不願意因娛樂價值將它合法化，從醫療角度考慮，這件事也大有裨益。美國有超過18%的人群患有焦慮之類的健康問題，這些都能用大麻幫助治療。
現在美國各地企業都喜歡大數據，是時候讓這些企業認識到大麻的好處了，是時候讓企業決策者將兼具醫用價值和娛樂價值的大麻合法化了, 一起發展建設國家綠色產業。

Big Data and Big Marijuana: The Future of America
You’ve heard of Big Data, but what about Big Marijuana? Both Big Data and Big Marijuana are largely influencing the business world, and all businesses will do well to take advantage of the benefits both have to offer.
The POSITIVE effects that marijuana is having and is going to have on businesses and consumers alike is far from where it will be in the next few years when pot is finally legalized throughout all of the US; this is an assumption, but it’s a very realistic one.
Positive Business Effects of Marijuana
So, the question at hand is what kind of effects are we talking about here? As contrary as some people believe, when pot is finally legalized, all the ‘potheads’ in the nation aren’t going to ban together and take over. In fact, it’s much more likely that they’ll simply sit around a bonfire at nighttime, smoke a joint or two and talk about ways to bring peace back to our society.
As far as the business world goes, the benefits of legalizing marijuana are sure to be seen on a financial basis. The tax alone collected from marijuana sales will boost the economy all throughout the US, the same as it has already done in both Washington and Colorado.
Did you know that in the pro-Mary Jane state of Colorado marijuana sales exceeded $1m on the first day that sales were legalized? That’s a lot of moolah, and with a tax rate of 29 percent, you can clearly see just how significantly the state’s economy has already been enhanced, and it will continue to grow more and more.
Jumping On the Smoky Bandwagon
Not only are Washington and Colorado growing the good ‘green,’ but they’re making it in the form of green dollar bills too. It’s about time that the rest of the country jump on the smoky bandwagon of legalizing marijuana. And even if some states steer clear of legalizing it for recreational purposes, it would still be of great benefit for these states to at least legalize it for medical purposes. There are many health conditions that can be treated with weed, including anxiety, which more than 18 percent of Americans suffer from.
Businesses all across the country have taken a liking to Big Data, and it’s time for these businesses to realize the benefits they’ll gain from Big Marijuana. It’s time to ban together and push our policymakers toward a pro-green country that legalizes both medical and recreational marijuana all throughout the country.
