The entire year 2008 will probably be appreciated for a lot of landmark occasions.  Unfortunately an economy around the edge will stick out just as much or maybe more than every other occasions of this year.  Hopefully it could also be viewed as the catalyst for any more structured and controlled medicinal marijuana industry.  We often hear the modern revenue is within eco-friendly jobs.  This statement could have a double meaning as Concord has shown that another eco-friendly industry may stimulate our economy.
