For the folks counting at home that's a conservative estimate of $771.4M before Federal taxes.

(That's not including taxes saved by not having to enforce marijuana laws, house marijuana-related prisoners, court costs, etc.)

18.4 million in mass.


I think that's a bit low, considering all the colleges we have around here.

I believe it's based on marijuana consumption v. population.

I think that 6.2 is pretty low for Iowa.

I think that California number is pretty low. I just want to get in on the lowballing going on.

[Boris the Blade]

We'd be the second highest GDP if you legalized it.

[lonesomefool]

I'm surprised Minnesota is higher than Oregon.

Now throw in prostitution and you've got a deal!

I have a hard time believing North Dakota spends more per capita on marijuana than California. That's gotta be bullshit. Everyone here is an alcoholic or a meth head.

Yeah, but have you ever seen the CNN Money tax revenue estimates...on weed?
