I believe that the 'jk' above is supposed to stand for "Just Kidding"? Maybe?

Given that marijuana is our number one domestic cash crop as is, and given further that a good portion of the marijuana purchased and consumed in our nation is not grown domestically but imported from Canada and Mexico, then what effect would legalization in the U.S. have on our economy?

The net positives for our economy of keeping money current going to growers and smugglers over the boarder at home are impossible to deny. Frankly, legalization as a means of economic stimulation is good and sound policy, so I don't quite see why "Just Kidding" was added to the end of that sentence.

Of course, I'm not entirely sure that I guessed right when translating that sentence to English, so I could be wrong.
