Mexican cartels still dominate the pot market, but "mom-and-pop" growers here in the states are harvesting almost half of the recession-resilient buds being smoked domestically, so the war on drugs really a war on our economy!

To do that, a lot of things would have to happen: the limo driver would have to recognize Brett Ratner, he'd have to risk his job and life to tweet while driving, and Brett Ratner would have to leave a good tip. At least two of any of those three things seem unlikely to occur. Also, Ratner claims two "performance artists" tweeted that he would attend their strip show, and a kid tweeted that he was a thief.
