Just had a decent read, made me think of this thread a little:
It’s all part of the second wave. Just as miners had to bring in specialized equipment and specialized methods for extracting more gold in the late 19th century, anyone looking to extract money from the cannabis industry now is going to need more than the standard tools. Nobody in California buys weed anymore. People have become consumers, and no consumer chooses their products blindly. More Californians every day are becoming choosy cannabis consumers. Now that cannabis is a consumer product, and not just a black market drug, there is no black market industry to jump into. There is no selling shit simply because you have it. Everyone has it, and some people just have better shit. Welcome to the future.

People telling me "Best lab test is at the other end of my bong"... shits changing. That isn't good enough anymore. You have the best? Prove it. You are new? Find a way to stand out and get the foot in the door. May be "good enough" for you...
I had a patient ask me, what am I doing to insure crop safety, or patient safety, from potential radioactive crap from Japan. At first I laugh... then I realize... it's a market.
