Tired of being broke? America does not have the answer to everything for a bright future. After all, it continuously ignores one of its most valuable cash crops. Marijuana is a valuable cash crop because it contains components used in a variety of industries, including modern food and medical science; it provides a great possibility for revenue; and it has potential for innovative uses for manufacturing parts in the transportation cabinet.
Marijuana is starting to become a major cash crop throughout the United States. The manipulation of its chemicals is used to establish so called herbal foods, and other uses to the restaurant and companies of the modern day industries. However, marijuana is not only used in food for satisfaction of the customers within the states that have legalized it for medical purposes. A poll conducted by The New England Journal of Medicine on May 30, 2013 indicated that 1,446 doctors from 72 different countries and 56 different states and provinces in North America, saying, “Marijuana should be legal” (Adler and Colbert). It provides medical use to numerous illnesses, consisting of leukemia, sclerosis, AIDS, depression, and chronic pain; it is also distributed to people with bipolar mood disorder. Curious, doctors continue to unravel the secrets behind the herbal substance. According to The Huffington Post, recent studies show Dr. Wai Liu, an oncologist attending the University of London’s St. George School of Medicine, says, “Marijuana compounds can kill some cancer cells” (Ferner). Furthermore, the “Cannabinoids have a complex action; it hits a number of important methods that cancers need to survive” (Ferner). With all the possibilities for marijuana to treat diseases and the pharmaceutical industry generating a lot of money, Marijuana would provide widely stretched uses, becoming a valuable cash crop.
Not only is marijuana a valuable cash crop because of its genetic components that can be used in many industries, but it also has a great potential for generating high revenue. Some states are already embracing marijuana as a cash crop. According to Niraj Chokshi of The Washington Post, studies show Washington and Colorado’s approaches toward marijuana are different between the two states, but both are profiting. Washington has a more restrictive policy, including a limited number of licensed sellers, banished personal cultivation, and limited advertisement up to 1,600 feet. Elsewhere, Colorado has started accepting license without cap and legalizing cultivation, with stores available as soon as January (Chokshi). According to Harry Bradford of the Huffington Post, the two states are expected to bring in $550 million dollars, combined with 300 economists estimating they will save up to $14 billion dollars a year. The Daily Iowan Editorial Board announced that the Iowan government lacks $600 million dollars. Marijuana is being discussed for legalization, regulation, and taxation to generate revenue for that state. Furthermore, the politicians are advocating for the development of green jobs. On October 22, 2013 a Gallup poll was reviewed, stating, “Americans support the recreational usage of Marijuana” (Swift). If Americans accept it for recreational usage, why is it so hard to establish it as a valuable cash crop?
Potentiality with the valuable cash crop has improved over the years and continues to provide different innovative uses. According to “Henry Ford: 1863 – 1947,” in 1925, Henry Ford introduced ethyl alcohol, “the fuel of the future.” Expressing his opinion amongst the automotive industries, Ford was aware that “hemp could produce vast economic resources if widely cultivated” (“Henry Ford”). The idea of ethyl alcohol powered vehicles was an idea Ford had brought to the attention of the nation. Until the 20th century, gasoline powered engines skyrocketed as the dominant transportation fuel. Gasoline made the operation of “present time engines” easier than ethyl alcohol. The government also claimed that the “new fuel” had lower octane than petroleum, which made ethyl alcohol more toxic to the ecosystem than gasoline. This made gasoline, a more reasonable choice than ethyl (“Henry Ford”). According to Amanda Onion of ABC News, scientists have discovered that the long, thin fibers, which Marijuana consist of, are currently being discussed for cheaper manufacturing of automobile parts. Because of Fords prediction for the use of marijuana and manufacturing, marijuana can be innovated for other opportunities in other industries, providing a better liquidity due to reduced cost.
Due to the “2013 government shutdown,” legalizing marijuana would not only provide the economy with more job opportunities, but that it would save America more money, instead of harboring fugitives for irrational crimes and punishment. Marijuana has also been proven to be comparable to the liquidity of alcohol, in that it also could be used to help America struggling with the nation’s burdens of debt by creating jobs and taxation. Just like corn and tobacco, marijuana can also be used for multiple industries, provide great revenue, and establish innovative opportunities for advancement. America cannot
deny the value of revenue from consistent cash crops such as corn and tobacco. Marijuana can also be distributed as a consistent cash crop.
Although marijuana is classified as “Illegal,” the newer generation is convinced that Marijuana is a good benefit to the nation. More Americans are becoming accustomed to marijuana as a “money making process,” despite the fact that it has been classified as a drug. Marijuana is not only used for personal recreation; much like corn is not used for eating, and tobacco is not only used for smoking. Therefore, due to recent discoveries, the so called “drug” should be reclassified. Some of the elder generation argues that we’ve gone this long without it,...
