Thanks, Sarah W., for sending this over!

Well, it only took a year, but I received my first submission post!

Here’s a great new infographic, called Going Green: Legalizing Marijuana is the Best Thing for America, listing updated stats for America’s 40+ year war on industrial hemp and marijuana. The team behind the graphic’s creation asked me to post the infographic, and get you guys’ thoughts on the information, presentation, legalization, etc.

So, what do you think?
