Why do you ask...
Because it wasn't just any agriculture ......... it was marijuana!!!
It's not surprising that the United States, the biggest debtor nation in the the history of the entire world. Who's negative worth is astronomically high... is flushing a potential billion dollars down the drain.
All in the name of um... not wanting to admit the government's views on 'pot' was wrong in the mid 1900's?
The FBI has organized and executed a dozens of raids on 'pot' farms in these states: Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington. Seizing more the a half million plants, estimated at a billion dollars if cultivated and sold. They did all this in a two month time span, and only arrested 14 people in Californians (strange, must have been a busy group of people!).
The argument over the drug war, specifically the marijuana battle of the drug war, has been argued into the ground.
Hell any high school Sr can spout off how much money the government is:
A) spending to fight the drug war, and
B) how much money they are missing out on by not letting marijuana become a legitimized taxable industry
or how the health consequences have been
A) grossly over exaggerated, or even better
B) that marijuana actually has health benefits!!! haha
The fact that "legal medical marijuana dispensaries" have been spreading like wildfire in the states/cities that have allowed their presence, is only the writing on the wall that marijuana would make a sustainable and profitable industry for the government.
Regardless to which side of the drug war debate you sit on... thousands of pot users are wincing at the fact that half a million marijuana plants were set on fire, and no one was there to smoke them.
