You know its not just the entrepreneurs or the medical patients or the recreational users that are looking forward to fully blown marijuana legalization, the econimists and stock brokers are to keeping an eye on such a lucrative product.

Oh and although this might sound great for something that has brought such a thriving amount of business and jobs to places like California it could all change once legalized since the big tobaco companies are also poised to scoop up all the business for themselves.

Cannabis is the number one drug grown, used and seized!

If you remember previously we had done a small article based on the Jon Gettman’s 2006 report that showed how marijuana is the number one cash crop in California USA. What about on an international level?

The BBC have highlighted key facts from the UN agencies latest World Drug Report 2009 and these go to show that cannabis is the most grown plants, the most used and most seized in the world!

So although you may have thought that cannabis is commonly used at a local level it is infact predominantly used in USA, Canada and Europe more than Cocaine. These facts probably reflect how easy it is to grow cannabis and because of its low harmful effects on humans compared to Cocaine, Heroin and Opium it is far more accepted and used.
