John Gettman's 2006 Marijuana Production Report is out, showing that marijuana is America's Number 1 Cash Crop, bringing in about $35.8 billion untaxed buckaroos.
That money is coming from the 22 million pounds of marijuana cultivated right here in the U.S.A. in 2006.
Think about how little of that marijuana is actually seized by the government and you have proof staring you right in the face that marijuana prohibition fails.
To check out recent news coverage here's a google news search.

Imagine if all that marijuana was taxed. How many new schools could we build?
Instead, 100% of the profit goes to your neighborhood's Jay and Silent Bob.
Little need to legalize marijuana usage...
Aside from the billions of dollars our country misses out on, what about all the lives that are ruined and lost to marijuana laws? Something that marijuana alone can not cause.
Snoochie Boochies.
