Grapes, and Cheese, and Weed...oh my

California is one of the bread baskets of the world. Half the fruits, vegetable and nut crops in the U.S. come from California. (insert joke here) California is the 5th largest agriculture producer on earth. California is the largest dairy state...and yet with all the farm wealth here....the number one cash crop in California is....wait for it....Pot! There is some debate on this point but it hardly matters. That fact is that pot sells and a lot of it is grown and sold in the Golden (baked) State. We are in a major budget crunch here in California. Legalizing and taxing pot would be a windfall. I don't know why it isn't legal actually. It is less corrosive on society than liquor - and the ban on that failed too.
Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it. (And no, I'm not a pot head. I don't like pot and haven't had a drink or a drug in 21 years...which explains my crankiness!)
