I wonder how soon the debt would be gone if all states legalized it, taxed it, and the government was forced to pay all of the tax collected from it to the debt?
A combined-effort suggested (in 2009).....
"According to Gettman, the retail value of the total U.S. marijuana market now stands at a whopping $113 billion per year. Using standard tax percentages obtained from the Office of Management and Budget, he calculates that the diversion of this market from the taxable economy deprives taxpayers of $31.1 billion annually."
