I was flipping through this months new Playboy like usual and I came across a cool fact:

"GRASS IS GREENER: Based on a government estimates of U.S. marijuana production and a producer price of about $1,600 a pound, the total value of all the pot grown annually has been calculated to be just less that $36 billion. Here is how marijuana compares with the country's top three legal cash crops:

Marijuana Corn Soybeans Hay
$35.8 Billion $23.3 Billion $17.6 Billion $12.2

And the reason Marijuana is still illegal is because the US Government cannot regulate and collect on the taxes of said Marijuana. Most of that weed is grown in someones hidden grow room that does not take kindly to paying taxes on something they grew in their home even if they are growing for sales for profit.

Marijuana Ranks Fourth Largest Cash Crop In America Despite Prohibition - NORML (http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=3906)

Pot is called biggest cash crop - Los Angeles Times (http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-pot18dec18,0,5264617.story?coll=la-home-headlines)

[suhl]

i have a source for a paper saying it is by far the biggest but i think it is for the state of california alone

[Genuine17]

Probably because it doesn't cost 50$ for almost 4 grams of soy, corn, or hay....

[Ghost**]

[thebeancounter41]

I've known that for years.What other plant can be harvested and sold for more money per gram than even SOLID GOLD is worth?As far as I know, gold isn't 20$ a gm yet.But good weed IS.

[rebgirl420]

Now, if America was to take over growing Mariuana, would they bump up the price? Or lower it?

[S.P.Q.R.]

Nice.. :stoned:

[rebgirl420]

Now, if America was to take over growing Mariuana, would they bump up the price? Or lower it?

Oh we'd be paying a huge markup

[Skink]

Would you peeps pay a grow tax??? say an amount per plant like 10$???

[rebgirl420]

Probably not, id try to wing it for as long as possible on my own. But I suppose it would be better than nothing.
