America’s Pot Capital? It’s Massachusetts, Not Colorado

Massachusetts is emerging as the nation’s pot capital, according to statistics compiled in a state legislative report released to the public last month.

The report, part of a comprehensive assessment of the pros and cons of legalizing marijuana in the Bay State, found that 21 percent of all Massachusetts residents admitted to smoking pot in June 2018.

That’s a huge jump from the 12 percent of Massachusetts residents that admitted to smoking pot in the previous statewide survey.

Even worse, young adult marijuana use in Massachusetts appears to be exploding. Roughly half of residents 18-25 years old reported using marijuana in the past 30 days — far higher than the national usage rate for this same demographic.

Anyone (not the kids in their 20's still at home) remember when Tobacco was the cash crop? Well, the next revenue generator is on our doorstep. Need to embrace the next cash crop. Don't like it, don't smoke it then - BUT harvest it for $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
