Do you want to open up a cannabis business?

If it was legal is that something you'd want to do?
I feel like a legalized weed industry here would help a lot with my options. 
There are so many possibilities with a legal weed economy.

weed shops would be like 7-11's except instead of indians they'd be run by annoyingly obnoxious and condescending stonerfags

No. I'd rather be the one growing it in 20,000 square feet warehouses.

The job of Amsterdam coffee shop, whatever you call them workers? barrista? That shit doesn't pay well at all, its not like being a bartender and getting a bunch of tips. It's a job for illegal immigrants and students and people who love weed so much they will work in a low paying job. Same as the kind of people working at your local head shop. It's a go nowhere job, unless you own the place. Growing is all right, but when it's legal and the price goes down, its just another job too. Tending plants also hurts my back and growing is more work than most people think. It would be nice to do with no paranoia I guess. I wouldn't mind own a cannabis related business, but fuck just working at one.

What's already been said.
One of the reasons weed is profitable as it is now is because it has to stay under the radar and because of the risk associated with growing/selling (even for collectives). I believe once it's on the same level as alcohol, you can expect to see it lose a large portion of it's money making power.

And horticulture can't be a passion? Or only when we apply it to growing ganja...
For the record, my goal of ganja farming wouldn't be to strike it rich. I'll be starting my own homestead eventually, but I still expect to have a low overhead--I'm sure I'll have enough friends who would be willing to buy my high quality outdoor to enable me to afford my property tax and buy new shoes occasionally.

To a certain extent yes. However, weed is much harder to produce than alcohol. Hell I can produce a decent hard apple cider brew in 10 days with barely any effort or money! Prices will vastly decrease and so will profits to an extent. High quality weed is not an easy thing to grow. Marijuana will still be considerably profitable I think.

Ofcourse I do.
The way they are doing things from what I seen you are either licensed tog row it or licensed to sell it. There was like 3 different licenses.
Not sure if one person can be both which is more ideal, and then you kind of buy to makeup for what you are lacking in.

Calif. Man Hopes to Build 'Anheuser-Busch of Marijuana'
This is the enticing aspect of legalization business. Imagine if you got all the stars to align and you were the founder of the Anheuser-Busch or Marlboro of pot. Not only would you make ridiculous money, you would (in our plutocratic system) gain a lot of power and be the trendsetter for the future of pot.

When legal marijuana businesses start popping up in popular brand-name franchises ("Sir-Tokes-A-Lot Coffeshops - coming to your state soon!") many if not most will be run with people with no prior ties to marijuana pre-legalization. Think about it - the knowledgeable grower with $100k cash buried in his backyard isn't gonna be the one starting the business, it's gonna be the dude who owns the successful bar down the street or some start-up created by people who know nothing about the business.

It all comes down to the economics of the marketplace when and if it happens. We'll just have to see what Washington and Colorado do with their cannabis industry and play it from there.
On a side note, I was watching the O'Reilly Factor last night and Bill went off on Colorado because The Denver Post hired a pot editor. Bill didn't see the parallels between pot and food and liquor. He hates it so much I think he must be a secret smoker who won't come out of the closet. Ha, ha!
