Costello did. Smoke and mirrors

"That’s what a local corporation broadcasted at the end of 2019. GRN Holding Corporation wrote in December that they planned to launch six drones that would fly marijuana, between wholesale and retail, in the greater Seattle area.
GRN said they signed a letter of intent to purchase Squad Drone — a Bellevue-based company. Testing of the delivery drones has been ongoing over the last year.
Here are some specifics: The drones have a payload of 90 pounds and deliver within a range of more than six miles.
They’ll come equipped with an advanced GPS navigation system and signature interface. The drones are battery operated with an embedded hybrid system, allowing the device to recharge if needed.
The drones would be operated from a command center in Seattle, and controlled by a licensed pilot -- about 20 people would be hired to care for the drones.
GRN said the weed delivery drones could happen by March -- maybe."

"Justin Costello, CEO of GRN Holding Corporation, wouldn’t respond to questions over the phone, or when a reporter showed up to his office in downtown Seattle. But he did respond by email. The responses were brief.
Why do this in Seattle?
“(This) is our hometown, 'our turf.' We know the market very well.”
He said "yes," there was already potential business interest but wrote he couldn’t share any specifics.
Is this legal?
“Is cannabis federally legal?” he wrote, seemingly rhetorically.
When asked in a follow-up email if the weed drones were still on track for happening by March, Costello did not respond."

It's nice to have a lot of horsepower in the engine room but you need some in the wheelhouse too.
