We all know that a lot of people are harmed by prohibition, but who benefits? Strangely enough, some of the biggest beneficiaries are the bootleggers. Sure, they take a big risk, but black marketeers don't have to pay taxes, they're protected from foreign competition, and they benefit from artificially inflated prices. Talk about protectionism.
What kind of message would an honest American Marijuana Growers Association have for us? "Thank you for your support of marijuana prohibition and buy American pot!"
"Buy American Pot" PSA was produced by Paul Feine, Alex Manning, and Hawk Jensen.
The farmer is played by Alexandra Fulton, who also has a pages on Facebook and IMDB.

IIRC, nearly 30 years ago, Saturday Night Live played an ad (featuring Laraine Newman) purporting to be from the Pot Growers of America telling people to "look for the union label" and buy American weed.
