>Who cares about that yellow stuff on the cob? There’s a new king of crops in town.
For years, activists in the marijuana legalization movement have claimed that cannabis is America’s biggest cash crop. Now they’re citing government statistics to prove it.
A report to be released Monday by a marijuana public policy analyst contends that the market value of pot produced in the United States exceeds $35 billion — far more than the crop value of such heartland staples as corn, soybeans and hay.
California is responsible for more than one-third of the cannabis harvest, with an estimated production of $13.8 billion that exceeds the value of the state’s grapes, vegetables and hay combined — and marijuana is the top cash crop in a dozen states, the report states.
The report estimates that marijuana production has increased tenfold in the past quarter-century despite an anti-drug effort by law enforcement.
Further proof of the saying, “what you resist, persists.”
The “war on drugs” has succeeded alright. It’s made pot as common as air.

>also, didja kno'…marijuana is sometimes "grown" in cornfields so it can't be easily detected by the feds from the air?because cornstalks can grow over 6ft high and leafy, they can easily conceal marijuana growth underneath. now if your next corn-on-the-cob gives you a high or munchies…you kno' why!(;-P~~ <=== betta than e.coli!
