Did anyone else see the ticker on GMA this am saying that our number one cash crop in the US is marajuana?

They said 36 billion last year. Do you guys think that the pro war on drugs lawmakers will get a clue that the prohibition of vices without victims is not working and that it will never work? Have we forgotten how the prohibition of alcohol gave rise to crime? If we are going to pick and choose then we should at least pick something better for our bodies and minds than alcohol and tabacco. What do you think?

    Cannabis is only so expensive because of prohibition. Make it legal and it would quickly be the lowest earning cash crop. Too many people are making money on this "war" to give up their careers on both sides. The reason it is so popular is that so many people see through the hype and know that it is relatively harmless and actually has some benefits. The only ones that really believe that it is harmful are people that never even tried it.

    they may well be in basic terms a mimic of nature, judging through the shapes, sizes and color of the land on and around the formations. Or they may well be something previous every person's worldly mind's eye. it must be in basic terms the very tops of something huge below all of it, resembling that of a buried citadel or pyramid, in basic terms way larger! Stonehenge and it particularly is kinfolk must be diverse markers off the same development. Or they may well be markers to show in specific instructions to discover a great hidden actuality. there is a lot that human beings do no longer understand of this planet and it particularly is previous inhabitants. What they do understand is in basic terms an knowledgeable wager, yet in no way seen a 'actuality', a minimum of no longer in my e book. in the event that they had something to take themselves in my opinion returned into the era of there findings, the place they'd learn and notice what went on with the creators of those systems, then i'd evaluate there study a actuality. =p this would be a great question some great discover in archeology! astounding photograph and article in the link as nicely.

    There is too much money involved in the control of illegal drugs to turn back now. Imagine the payroll of the antidrug forces within this country. All those people would have to turn to welfare because nobody else needs them.

    Sure did! Not surprised with the diminishing

    intelligence in our country. This will probably

    piss off all the pot heads but so what. I've

    been there done that and have moved on.

    WILL YOU.

    I heard it via radio. It disgusted me. The authentic farmers of this land should divert their interests into marijuana to support their families? Euuuuuuuuuuuu!

    not only that but it tells you a little bit about the plight of farmers in this country.

    another thing it tells us, we "certify" countries that effectively fight drug production but would we pass that same certification?
