Forget That Marijuana Drone Delivery, Says California

Thinking of pitching local venture capitalists with your great idea for marijuana delivery by drone? Well, better think again.

"Uber for X" startups have been a ongoing theme at local pitch events, angel investment screening sessions, and among startup business plans in the area for the last few years.
