>As state after state has legalized marijuana in one way or another, big names in corporate America have stayed away entirely. Marijuana, after all, is still illegal, according to the federal government.
>But Microsoft is breaking the corporate taboo on pot this week by announcing a partnership to begin offering software that tracks marijuana plants from “seed to sale,” as the pot industry puts it.
>The software — a new product in Microsoft’s cloud computing business — is meant to help states that have legalized the medical or recreational use of marijuana keep tabs on sales and commerce, ensuring that they remain in the daylight of legality.
>Microsoft’s baby step into the business came through an announcement on Thursday that it was teaming up with a Los Angeles start-up, Kind, that built the software the tech giant will begin marketing. Kind — one of many small companies trying to take the marijuana business mainstream — offers a range of products, including A.T.M.-style kiosks that facilitate marijuana sales, working through some of the state-chartered banks that are comfortable with such customers.
>Microsoft will not be getting anywhere near these kiosks or the actual plants. Rather, it will be working with Kind’s “government solutions” division, offering software only to state and local governments that are trying to build compliance systems.
>But for the young and eager legalized weed industry, Microsoft’s willingness to attach its name to any part of the business is a big step forward.

>Microsoft claims that this was another major step in the direction of complete control over the population of terrorist hippies.
>It is a well known fact that Mohammed Atta, one of the leaders of ISIS, was under the effect of cannabis whilst flying the plane into the twin tower on 9\11\2001.
>The 'Microsoft government', as some extremist russian terrorists with malicious and backstabbing tendencies call it, has since been a very active helper in the fight against cancer on Sup Forums. It is a well known fact, that cannabis can lead to proper thinking, which then leads to the repel of Windows Microsoft operating systems. Of course, this would help to remove the cancer of Sup Forums, which would be an islamic act of chaos and terror, which has to be prevented by all means.
>Intel has also told us exclusively, that they will sponsor the latest Monsanto weed growing plantages in Africa, which will eradicate the mostly islamic african population, because fuck niggers, we indian street shitters now.
>Only an gaped goatse ass is a good goyim ass, let us install the revolutionary blue exit pill Windows 10 experience directly into your anus, so that you can enjoy the real real true truth about the moonlanding via Netflix, which automatically comes preinstalled from now on. Because that's how we roll.

Well you would probably have to be under the influence of something to fly yourself into a building on purpose. Like playing chicken with a street lamp.
