The surefire, no doubt about it way to make a lot of money. Not kidding.

Grow pot.

Ok, we can all go home now and start growing I guess. According to an article in today’s Los Angeles Times:

A report released today by a marijuana public policy analyst contends that the market value of pot produced in the U.S. exceeds $35 billion — far more than the crop value of such heartland staples as corn, soybeans and hay, which are the top three legal cash crops.

California is responsible for more than a third of the cannabis harvest, with an estimated production of $13.8 billion that exceeds the value of the state’s grapes, vegetables and hay combined — and marijuana is the top cash crop in a dozen states, the report states.

So, have it. Told you I wasn’t kidding.
