Silicon Valley…
It’s a sliver of land in the northern part of California. It is known as the Great West, and countless Americans risked their lives to start a new frontier in that territory. It has paid off.
Just like the gold rush of the 1850s enriched hundreds of thousands of adventurers back then, the boom in Silicon Valley has created more millionaires than anywhere else in the world. It’s given birth to tech giants like Google, Apple, Facebook, and Microsoft. It has spawned thousands of successful tech companies. It’s well known as the world’s innovation hub.
Silicon Valley is home to 39 Fortune 1000 companies and has delivered tremendous gains on the above stocks:
- 71,670% on Microsoft
- 14,311% on Apple
- 739% on Facebook
But what it is up to now has its roots in antiquity. It has nothing to do with smartphones, semiconductors, or apps.
Silicon Valley is putting countless millions of dollars into a product that is as old as time itself.
You’ll be shocked when you hear what the Silicon Valley bigwigs are working on now. It is only fitting that this product was perhaps the very first thing sold on the Internet…
In the 1970s, students from Stanford sold some marijuana to students at MIT, using a crude version of what would eventually become the Internet. It was called ARPANET and was basically an early messaging service.
From Jamie Bartlett’s The Dark Net:
In 1972, long before eBay or Amazon, students from Stanford University in California and MIT in Massachusetts conducted the first ever online transaction. Using the Arpanet account at their artificial intelligence lab, the Stanford students sold their counterparts a tiny amount of marijuana.
You heard that right: the first online purchase was for weed.
Now things have come full circle, and Silicon Valley is going back to its roots and betting big on the marijuana boom.
Silicon Valley has been pouring resources into developing new marijuana techniques to cash in on the “Green Rush.” Many Silicon Valley tech experts have jumped ship to take their own stakes in the marijuana jackpot, like:
- Tyler Goldman, former CEO of music streaming service Deezer, who now leads a state-of-the-art vaporizer company.
- Jake Heimark, a former Facebook employee, who created a pot-infused chewing gum company.
- Keith McCarty, a founding member of a company bought by Microsoft for $1.2 billion, who founded the “Uber of Weed.”
- Eric Eslao, a former senior producer at Apple, who is now a marijuana edibles connoisseur.
- Drew Reynolds, a former chief technology officer at MyWedding.com, who is now the CEO of the “Yelp of Marijuana.”
California is the perfect place for this. That’s because just north of Silicon Valley is the “Emerald Triangle.”
This piece of land includes Humboldt, Mendocino, and Trinity counties and is the epicenter of marijuana production. It has grown the best marijuana in the world for decades now — well before it was accepted and legal like it is today.
And the experts living here are about to cash in…
California started selling legal recreational marijuana at the beginning of the year. It expects to sell almost $5 billion worth of the plant a year. This is one of the biggest catalysts for the booming cannabis sector that we’ve seen yet. It will set the entire market for years to come — making investors like us very wealthy in the process. You just need to know which companies to invest in.
I’ve identified a company working in the Emerald Triangle that could be called “The Apple of Pot.”
You see, the mid-2000s were a mysterious time for Apple. Even insiders couldn’t figure out what was happening…
People were disappearing. One day, the software engineer next to you was at their terminal, and the next, they weren’t. Nobody knew where they’d gone or if they’d ever come back…
You see, Apple was secretly working on Project Purple — which turned out to be the iPhone.
Like Apple, the company I found is working on a hush-hush project called Project IVXX. It is a program for creating and producing proprietary blends of marijuana.
The company has developed and acquired a custom state-of-the-art extraction lab — reminiscent of Apple’s own bleeding-edge tech. It lets the company produce the finest-grade marijuana that’s tailored to customers’ needs and feedback. It’s also quietly become one of the most successful U.S. marijuana companies. While Canada’s weed stocks have boomed over the last year, U.S. companies are only beginning to catch up.
The “Apple of Pot” has already boosted revenue by 340% in a year. I expect it to blow past those numbers easily now that California has finally opened up its shops. It could end up being the leader in the legal U.S. marijuana trade.
