See what odd facts you may not have known about your state. E.g.:

38. It is estimated there are approximately 500,000 detectable seismic tremors in California annually.

3. More turkeys are raised in California than in any other state in the United States.

29. Sequoia National Park contains the largest living tree. Its trunk is 102 feet in circumference.

9. In Pacific Grove there is a law on the books establishing a $500 fine for molesting butterflies.
(Doing what to butterflies?)

25. Death Valley is recognized as the hottest, driest place in the United States. It isn't uncommon for the summer temperatures to reach more than 115 degrees.


Several that are relevant to med pot patients and suppliers:

32. One out of every eight United States residents lives in California. (Yeah. No kidding.)

33. California is the first state to ever reach a trillion dollar economy in gross state product.

34. California has the largest economy in the states of the union.

35. If California's economic size were measured by itself to other countries, it would rank the 7th largest economy in the world.

50. California's Proposition 215 (1996) was the first statewide medical marijuana initiative to pass in the USA - keeping attorneys busy for years.

De facto legalization and taxation in CA alone could reduce the country's trillion dollar debt because of reasons 32-35.
