If other states follow Colorado's lead and legalize marijuana, there could be opportunities related to that. Not very 'techie' though.
Doubt it. I've heard rumors -- and I would be very surprised if this turned out not to be true -- that tobacco companies are prepared to fill the market the instant marijuana is legalized.
(But have tobacco companies moved into the medical marijuana market? Outright legalization seems less near-future likely than expansion of medical.)
For big tobacco companies it would be important that federal laws allows marijuana. In the absence of medical marijuana legalisation on the federal level it would be too much risk for a big established company to go there.
