Best known for its four prisons until last November, Adelanto\u2019s four correctional institutions have historically incarcerated approximately\u00a03,400 county, state and federal prisoners\u00a0at any given time. By simply augmenting its prison-based economy with a cannabis-based economy, Adelanto could add to\u00a0their annual income of $160,000 \u2013 generated from all four prisons \u2013 with an additional\u00a0$12 million a year.

In order to reach their supposition, JAMA examined the history of approximately 34,000 adult Americans who contributed to a National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions. In their newly published report, JAMA concluded that, &#8220;<em><strong>cannabis use was not associated with increased risk for developing mood or anxiety disorders<\/strong><\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text\/html' width='702' height='425' src='http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/k1tgk5KVAF8?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen='true'><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Helping to send real estate prices into the stratosphere in California&#8217;s high desert, the tiny town of Adelanto is hoping to enhance their prison-based economy with one supported by the cultivation of medical marijuana.
