Plot Summary: Take a road trip into the heart of the Emerald Triangle, a geographical region where marijuana is grown in lush and pungent abundance, where it is the number-one cash crop, and where (in some places) it is the mainstay of the local rural economy. In what savage region can you find this wicked lawless place – California. The Emerald Triangle begins more or less in Sonoma County and goes up (so to speak) from there. In some of these regions you can hear people say, "If it weren't for medical marijuana, people wouldn't be able to live here. There would be no local economy otherwise." And you hear this: "The lumber industry is shutting down. The real economy now is marijuana." These are some of the people you meet in "Cash Crop."
