Going on 70 years of marijuana prohibition, and the costly 'War on Drugs' is contrary to our ideals of liberty and justice in every respect.

Based on production estimates derived from marijuana eradication efforts from 2003 to 2005 marijuana is the top cash crop in 12 states, one of the top 3 cash crops in 30 states, and one of the top 5 cash crops in 39 states.
