Leafly's annual cannabis report shows how valuable cannabis is in Oregon and beyond
As we exit "Croptober," the annual period which sees sun-grown cannabis harvested, weed education website Leafly has released a new number-filled report to help put into perspective just how valuable the plant is as an agricultural crop. Not valuable as in, "Without cannabis, some people jumping on my last nerves in this office would be catching hands on the regular," although that certainly has value to said nerve jumpers.
