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.
