EX-MICROSOFT MANAGER WANTS TO CREATE MARIJUANA SALES EMPIRE Jamen Shively , a 45-year-old former Microsoft manager, wants to build a cannabis empire in Washington state, where pot was legalized last fall, saying he was tired of waiting for a green light from the Obama administration, which still hasn't said how it will respond to the legalization of recreational pot in Washington and Colorado.
