Marijuana is an extremely expensive crop in the United States as compared to any other crop. 1 ounce of marijuana can cost you anywhere between $180 and $400. Compare this to a crop like corn. You can buy a whole pound of corn for under $10. All of the fault lands on the fact that Marijuana is illegal in the United States.
The fact that marijuana is so expensive in the U.S. makes it so that marijuana becomes an extremely profitable crop. All this profit of course is made by international criminal gangs. They make billions of dollars tax free of course, in an underground economy. This also means that the money is being diverted from productive economic development. So while the foreign crime bosses get fat pockets, all this money leaves our economic circle and joins the black market.
