marijuana the new cash crop?

It's not the new cash crop, it beats out the top three cash crops put together, I think they are corn, soybeans, and the third is slipping my mind, maybe we can blame that on the new cash crop...lol.

California wants to legalize it and tax it $50 per ounce. Problem is they can't legally collect tax revenue unless it's legal on the federal level. One thing to keep in mind is any idiot can drop a seed in their tomoatoe garden and grow it themselves and not pay the tax, however it will still put a ton of underground money in the economy even if taxes aren't collected off of it.

Marijuana is lots much less risky than alcohol. Marijuana does not deliver approximately more suitable drugs, till you have an addictive character. Legalize it, tax it. this might first deliver extra gross sales to the rustic, 2d it would be controlled sales, taking the criminals out of the image. enforce a similar rules with marijuana as alcohol has.

It isn't the "new" cash crop, it's been the main cash crop for decades.

Mexican drug cartels, hippies, and covert home growers have been pocketing all the profits and not paying any taxes.

Time to extract our pound of flesh and get something in return.

More like new tax revenue. Can't wait to see them try to get money from the drug cartels.
