Quiz: What's the Biggest Cash "Crop" in the U.S?

Answer:

Marijuana, of course. And you wonder why we're unsuccessful at fighting illegal drugs. As I've stated many time before, its because we cant afford to stop it; its too big a business for this country.
A report released today by a marijuana public policy analyst contends that the market value of pot produced in the U.S. exceeds $35 billion — far more than the crop value of such heartland staples as corn, soybeans and hay, which are the top three legal cash crops.
California is responsible for more than a third of the cannabis harvest, with an estimated production of $13.8 billion that exceeds the value of the state's grapes, vegetables and hay combined — and marijuana is the top cash crop in a dozen states, the report states.
