Quote:Kentucky's cash crop is tobacco and it's history is rich in tobacco growing. I think it has changed to Marijuana and the last I heard more money is now made off of that than tobacco
Well THAT certainly helps destroy a negative Southren stereotype.
Tangent:Have you the excellent Aussie TV series "Underbelly"? The background is the massive illicit marijuana industry around Griffith,New South Wales in the 1970's.
Quote:In the 1970s, Griffith was often associated with drug distribution (particularly marijuana) and organized crime,[7] as depicted in 2009 by Underbelly: A Tale of Two Cities. However, Griffith is now associated with good wine and food, primarily as a result of its diverse population, with notable contributions by Italian-Australians. Griffith's multi-ethnic population is now absorbing new national groups, including a significant Sikh Indian community.[8] The city is sister city with the Italian town of Treviso in the Veneto area. Many Italians in Griffith are from the Veneto region or the Calabria region of Italy.
