Weed


35 billion. That's with a "b". The most recent estimate of the annual value of the U.S. marijuana crop. More than corn. More than wheat. More than anything by a long shot. Reminds me of that Bloom County where a politician is pressing the flesh with a farmer and asks, "Whatcha growin, corn?" The farmer, chewing a piece of wheat, responds, "Pot."

Liberals? Imagine the tax revenues!

Republicans? Imagine being able to smoke what we all know you smoke but legally!

But wouldn't it be worth a fraction of that if you took away the black market markup?
