… COFFEE.

"IN THE HILLS near Santa Barbara, something funky is growing. No, it's not the newest strain of bubba kush. It's coffee, sprouting farther north than it should be. Coffee belongs in the tropics—it doesn't like cold snaps. But here at Frinj Coffee, a special variety called geisha flourishes.

And it's about to get a whole lot more special—thanks, actually, to cannabis. Front Range Biosciences, which produces marijuana plants free of viruses and bacteria, is branching out into other crops like coffee, today announcing it would provide Frinj more than 3 million plants (technically known as "rooted cuttings") over the next four years. Using this "clean stock" technology, Southern California could soon be green with coffee engineered in the lab to be healthy and productive.

Think of the cup cakes and brownies they could serve in the Elementary School cafeteria!

And then have vending machines with junk food strategically placed throughout the school. School districts won't ever have to worry about federal funding!

PS. It seems to provide plenty of jobs for the cartels too. Lots of dollars flow south every year.

If you liked big tobacco, you're going to love big pot.

Exactly what I was thinking, and with loads of politicians already onboard, pushing for it from both sides of the border, making the cartels even more powerful.
