>Microsoft is on a roll this week. After announcing on Monday its plans to acquire business social networking site LinkedIn for $26.2 billion, Microsoft is now getting into the legal marijuana industry.
>The company announced that it is partnering up with KIND Financial, a Los Angeles-based marijuana startup, to track pot growth from seed to sale.
>The two companies will collaborate on software that helps governments track and trace legal marijuana, according to a press release that came out on Thursday. The software will run on Microsoft’s Azure cloud computing platform.
>“The goal of this relationship is to leverage each company’s resources to provide State, County, and Municipalities with purpose built solutions for track and trace (‘seed to sale’ in the cannabis industry) technology,” KIND said in a statement released on Thursday.
>The venture is significant, as the New York Times points out, because Microsoft is the first major corporation to throw its weight behind the legal marijuana industry and “[break] the corporate taboo on pot.”
