Guys, the large financier scenario is more likely than you may think, IMHO. Rationale:
This industry does not have access to traditional financing and the product is an illegal drug according to Federal Law. It is my opinion that we will see a rescheduling to 2 by DEA, which moves the product into an area where other businesses and industries successfully operate today. (albeit with a lot of red tape and regulation. This can serve as a positive element -barrier to entry for competition, etc...) I also think CA and NV legalize recreational this Fall.
What this does:
Opens the floodgates for investors that want in but the risk profile is too great today.
What this does not do:
Change anything for TRTC or others when it comes to access to traditional financing. Still no/very limited banking....
2 other factors:
Nobody things we are going back to full prohibition. We all know we are inching towards full legalization, someday.
MJ is finicky. Not the easiest to grow, extract, deliver consistently, nuanced target market.
Putting these things together, I think it is likely that:
"Billionaire Bob" who has a lot of $$ and business acumen, sees the potential in MJ and decides to give it a go. Things changed for Bob with the rescheduling and CA/NV laws. He is now comfortable moving forward and Bob goes big or goes home. He also realizes he doesn't know a dang thing about MJ so he does what good leaders and visionaries do - he goes and gets it by surrounding himself with people who do. Enter TRTC. Bon sees them as the biggest legit play and he has the 1 thing they need: cash money. Likewise, TRTC has everything he needs: seed to sale infrastructure, knowledge, branding, and proven operational track record.
BOOM - a deal gets done and it is off to the races. This is a very likely scenario in 2017-2018.
