Another good side effect of U.S. marijuana cultivation: lower prices on equipment!
We had a local garden show yesterday. A local hydro-farm gave an excellent talk on how they grow their greens year round. They credited marijuana growers for making it possible to afford the lighting and "hydro stuff" they use.
Being more libertarian, I would not mind marijuana being legalized. In Virginia, it will be amazing if it's simply de-criminalized. Simple possession in VA, can still be our highest misdemeanor with a year in jail and $2500 fine (though no one is ever sentenced to anything close.)
OTOH, there has to be some link between brain cell numbers and dedicated pot use! The cops I work with often comment that the dedicated pot users are some of the nicest people they encounter: not only do they claim the pot is theirs; they usually tell the officers what grade it is and then they offer to share some. Very kind and considerate!
