A city, trying to deal with more than 20% unemployment, has turned to allowing cannabis for cash!
So far there’s no comment from the federal government, that’s because in this country growing pot is legal (within limits).
The country is Spain! Officials with the city of Rasquera, in Catalonia, have signed a deal that’s estimated to bring in U.S. $1.6 million to their local economy!
But it’s not just marijuana: ”The produce will only go to members of the association and it won’t all be cannabis. There will be crop rotation with cereal and sugar beet.”-Bernat Pellisa, Mayor of Rasquera
The deal will make Rasquera the largest legal pot growing area in all Europe!
