Plant MoneyMarijuana can go for thousands of dollars an ounce. In fact, as of 2006, it was the number-one cash crop in the United States, averaging thirty billion dollars a year.Saffron from Iran is the next-most-expensive plant, as it takes seventy-five thousand flowers to make one pound of the popular spice. Orchids, on the other hand, tend to elude the laws of supply and demand and are priced much more like paintings or sculpture, their value being in the eye of a particular collector.
