@ 34 Billion a year weed beats out corn as our nmber one cash crop
 
I saw that article 2 days ago in a free copy of a newspaper, given to people on the street.... The full (very small) article was:
"US growers produce nearly $35bn worth of marijuana a year, making it America's largest cash crop, bigger than corn and wheat combined, says a report by public policy analyst Jon Gettman, who said California, Tennessee, Kentucky, Hawaii and Washington grow $1bn worth each".......I couldn't believe the numbers!!! That's a lot of weed guys!!!!!
 
Decades of government efforts to crack down on both the cultivation and consumption of pot have had a counter-productive effect, since even the most conservative government estimates suggest domestic marijuana production has increased tenfold in the past 25 years. It is the leading cash crop in 12 states, and one of the top five crops in 39 states.
