“Marijuana is one of the top cash crops in the United States. So why is there so little coverage of this business, as a business?” The Big Money inaugurates a blog on marijuana legalization: “I will tackle many aspects of marijuana, but the emphasis will be on business and economics,” says its author, Dan Mitchell. “For me, that encompasses a lot of things.
