I don’t understand the rush to grow weed.

America exports a lot of grain and beef, but imports most all other agriculture products to a large degree.

Why don’t they rush find new ways to grow garlic or onions or strawberries? There’s already an established market for those and its not counting on already feeble Americans getting even higher and stupider than they already are.

It is the major cash crop of many countries.

Strawberries dont retail for $300 an OUNCE. Plus few plants are as easy to grow as cannabis.

Outdoor cannabis plants can yield several pounds EACH. In warm climates, 2-3 harvests per year!

I would imagine it’s because garlic and strawberries sell for a few dollars a pound while cannabis sells for thousands of dollars a pound.

Free market and all that.
