Legalize Corn

What if:

1) corn were the #1 cash crop in the U.S. (instead of #2), and 2) corn were illegal (instead of legal).

For anyone confused, this is a parody article. The main premise seems to be "What if we treated all plants the way we treat cannabis?"

Nike ran a very similar campaign in the late 90's that asked a similar question: What if we treated all athletes the way we treat skateboarders?

...corn? What? The yellow stuff I eat at dinner??

Well, this seems to be a kind parody, or an argument in favour of legalising cannabis by drawing a comparison with corn.

I don't understand the point, though, since apart from being flowering plants, they have little in common at any level, it seems to me.

Edit - by the way, before clicking the link I was thinking it was going to be an article about GM corn, or something like that.

The table on the "about" page explains the commonality.

A parody of some sort?

(I don't think they are actually talking about corn.)
