A class at the Oaksterdam U. on marihuana.
According to some experts, marijuana is California’s largest cash crop, bringing in more than twice the revenue of vegetables. However, this green is not taxed. Legalizing and taxing pot could provide $1.3 billion to help the state’s dire economic situation, but it might also lead to additional problems and undermine anti-drug efforts. Is this crop just cash waiting to be reaped, or is it more complicated? Advocates on both sides of the issue will argue the pros and cons of legalizing marijuana.

Since the seriousness of the worldwide economic crisis became obvious last summer, people have been searching for answers. What happened? How did we get here? What can we do to fix things? Why didn’t we prevent this? How do we cope with newfound stress? And, perhaps most important, what will our economy and world look like after the recovery?
