Despite its illegality, marijuana is said to be the state's largest cash crop ($14billion), ahead of vegetables ($5.9billion) and grapes ($2.6billion).

Oh how I cannot wait until California becomes the first state to legalize it; states will soon start to follow their lead... they're just waiting for the reports that Cali will bring in.

California has about 1,500 prisoners serving time for marijuana offenses.
With incarceration of marijuana offenders costing taxpayers an estimated $40,000 a year per inmate, legalization would also reduce prison costs.That's 10 times as many as in 1980, says Dale Gieringer, director of California NORML, an organization aimed at reforming marijuana laws.

Promise savings to taxpayers - Decriminalizing marijuana, for example, will lower the cost of law enforcement, now estimated to be about $170million a year in the state.
