Organic Medical Marijuana

There is quite an industry in growing medical marijuana- the legal stuff. In about 15 states, medical marijuana is sold to patients who are prescribed the drug. Like any drug, it must come from somewhere. Where does it come from? Growers of course. Within these growers, a political economy emerges among those who can gain the "Clean Green" organically grown certification. The USDA does not organically certify state-government marijuana farms because marijuana is still banned by federal law. Thus, the "Clean Green" certification has been granted to 80 different companies totaling over 8,000 pounds of marijuana according to www.alternet.org. Culturally, millions of Americans indulge in smoking (or using of some sort) marijuana. In legal states, they obtain medical licenses. There is a clear demand for marijuana. Economically, this "Clean Green" amounts to at least $33 million. There is an emerging market for companies to obtain this pseudo "organic" name in order to gain more business. The sale of marijuana is a major industry that continues to gain revenue as states continue to legalize medical marijuana and possible legalize marijuana altogether.
