Cannabis News: US Cannabis Growers Harvest 5 Million Pounds Annually Resulting In Over $6 Billion
In the first ever national level agricultural study of cannabis, it was confirmed that cannabis outperforms cotton in the United States.
In the 11 states that have both adult-use and medical cannabis, the wholesale cannabis crop brings in $6.2 Billion. Only corn, soybeans, hay, and wheat bring in more money to American farmers.
It was also found that legal cannabis is the single most valuable agricultural crop in Alaska, Colorado, Massachusetts, Nevada, and Oregon, but remains completely uncounted and ignored by state agriculture officials.
In Alaska, the state’s cannabis crop is worth more than twice as much as all other agricultural products combined.
Leafly found that cannabis crops in adult-use states now support 13,042 licensed farms in the aggregate. On an annual basis, those growers harvest 2,278 metric tons (5,022,990 pounds) of cannabis. That’s enough cannabis to roll more than 2 billion joints, or fill 57 Olympic-size swimming pools.
Happy harvest season everyone 😎
Life’s a garden. Dig it.

Having cannabis in the top 5 crops is great. Imagine what it would be if all the states legalized. Being able to grow your own should be included as well. Once again, I love to see you smile Devyn.
