Legalizing “Medicinal” Marijuana
There are radio and TV ads advertising places that offer prescriptions for “medicinal marijuana” over the telephone - no actual Dr. visit required.
Now some of the large tomato and pepper growers in our area have stopped growing vegetables and converted their farmland to growing legal marijuana.
Supposedly the profits from growing marijuana are much higher than vegetable crops.
Farms that used to offer good deals on You-Pick vegetables after they completed picking for the commercial market are now gone.
We once had many farms to choose from where we could pick bushels of peppers, tomatoes and other vegetables for canning at low prices but now there are very few.
Supply is down and prices are up.
There are so many things happening to decimate our food supply, this doesn’t bode well for our future.
Thanks for the interesting article
