After 30+ years of the "war on drugs", we have this: Kentucky's Billion-Dollar Pot Crop PIKEVILLE, KY-October 26, 2005 - While Kentucky is the "Bluegrass" state, authorities are finding plenty of another kind of grass, the illegal variety. State police say they've confiscated more than a $1 billion worth of marijuana this year. Kentucky traditionally ranks among the top five states in illegal marijuana production. Troopers say they would have found even more pot farms but for Hurricane Katrina. National Guard helicopters used to search Kentucky hills for pot were sent to the Gulf Coast for hurricane relief. One official says there's so much pot grown in Kentucky that if every Kentuckian were to smoke a joint an hour, they couldn't use it all.
