This subject has been hashed around before. The state with it's holier than thou policies, are always quick to sponcer gambeling. If things stay down a long time I think this will happen.

As they say, "A drop in the bucket" or lets call it $13.9B (that is of course is consumption does not increase dramatically due to the collapse sponsored by Central Banks ;))

The Budgetary Implications of Marijuana Prohibition

Executive Summary

• Government prohibition of marijuana is the subject of ongoing debate.

• One issue in this debate is the effect of marijuana prohibition on government budgets. Prohibition entails direct enforcement costs and prevents taxation of marijuana production and sale.

• Thisreport examines the budgetary implications of legalizing marijuana – taxing and regulating it like other goods – in all fifty states and at the federal level.

• The report estimates that legalizing marijuana would save $7.7 billion per year in government expenditure on enforcement of prohibition. $5.3 billion of this savings would accrue to state and local governments, while $2.4 billion would accrue to the federal government.

• The report also estimates that marijuana legalization would yield tax revenue of $2.4 billion annually if marijuana were taxed like all other goods and $6.2 billion annually if marijuana were taxed at rates comparable to those on alcohol and tobacco.

• Whether marijuana legalization is a desirable policy depends on many factors other than the budgetary impacts discussed here. But these impacts should be included in a rational debate about marijuana policy.

Very funny. Maybe when they're done hashing it out they'll find the grass is not so green and they can weed this idea out.;)
