Yep, this is why some of the smarter cities (San Francisco, Santa Cruz) out here in Cali have decriminalized it. It's not technically "legal" but is now the lowest priority for law enforcement. Trying to enforce the ridiculous marijuana laws just sucks away too much resources. So now, if a San Francisco cop sees one guy smoking a joint and another jaywalking, he's supposed to go after the jaywalker :jointsmile:
Fengzi Reviewed by Fengzi on . Marijuana America's Number 1 Cash Crop I came across a news story that says marijuana is the top cash crop in the U.S, bigger than wheat and corn combined. If we can trust the numbers that have been released, $35 billion is produced annually. They are saying that the $35 billion equates to 10,000 metric tons. The $35 billion is just going off "retail value" of a pound of pot. Producers cost of a pound is $1,606 and the retail is $2,400. So they are saying the average ounce goes for $150.00.
