Happy 4/20:  Americans Now Spend More on Legal Weed Than Chocolate

After a long day, some people treat themselves to some chocolate . . . others opt for a craft beer . . . and since it's 4/20, people in some areas may unwind with a little cannabis.  And that's becoming more common.

 

 

As the marijuana laws are changing around the country, Americans spent about $30 BILLION on legal weed products last year.  That's up from $12 billion the year before.

 

 

The $30 billion last year was MORE than we spent on chocolate ($18 billion) and craft beer ($8 billion) . . . combined.

 

 

That legal cannabis may ultimately help BOOST chocolate sales . . . along with other munchies like Ice cream, Cheez-Its, candy bars, and potato chips.

 

Speaking of marijuana and chocolate, a company called Zen Cannabis has created a 420-POUND chocolate bar in honor of 4/20.  

It measures nine feet by four feet and is three inches thick. It also includes 4.2 MILLION milligrams of THC.  The asking price for the chocolate bar is $42,000.
