Think “Spicoli” from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Countless movies and characters have embedded themselves in the zeitgeist thanks to weed. Let’s face it, marijuana has also burned up a lot of screen time in pop culture. That makes states with non-marijuana revenue green with envy.Īlright, enough with the numbers. In New York it was reported that the state’s recent passing of legal marijuana could generate $3.5 billion and create 60 thousand jobs. Last year alone, Forbes reports that the cannabis industry brought in a record $17.5 billion. Marijuana is all about the green, too-and we don’t just mean from the plant. Still, it remains an illegal drug on a federal level. Today, 36 states have legalized marijuana for medical purposes and/or recreational use. The same study, conducted earlier this month, reported that only 8% of adults thought it should be illegal. According to the Pew Research Center, 91% of adults in the United States say that marijuana should be legal for both purposes. An overwhelming number of Americans support the legalization of marijuana use for both medical and recreational use.
The love of bud is a mindset and practice. Known as 420, this day has been associated with weed for over five decades. Marijuana, weed, pot, dope, cannabis, ganja, mota, Mary Jane or whatever else you want to call it is a drug so recognized and popular that it has its own day.
