So apparently there isomer to be made in the weed game eh?
Oh and why is it still illegal? Because America loves putting people in prison and loves war and murder and crime.
The country is starving for revenue like this. Wake up folks.

Would be curious to know what these numbers are based on. There's no telling what the legal status will be in 2018 or how the industry will be regulated.

Thread Fail. The revenue from pot is not going to be a government funding panacea.

Post fail. The point is gov will have no choice but to legalize to cash in on some of the revenue. Obviously it should have been legal yesterday but the money is not going to be ignored eventually.

We'll no shit Sherlock. But an industry that brings in that kind of money goes a long way for a lot of people and the country. It's not like 10 billion is the plateau anyhow.

I think we'll get some good data from the legalized states.
It may be that *gasp* MJ has some detrimental effects on society, that offset the revenue. Pretty much every drug in existence has side effects and costs associated with use. The obvious examples are tobacco products and alcohol, which cause a lot of (expensive) harm to us all.
In any event, the obvious flaw in the analysis is that is assumes MJ will remain legal and available in its current form. Lots of types of regulation could severely affect the industry in many different ways.

Move to WA or CO! I'm sure there will be more states to come jump on the bandwagon once the profits start rolling in. Its a blessing that these two pioneering states are leading the way

i see what they;re doing, they want a fully functional society, they want new technology, they want active hard working people to keep the monopoly game going. it's really not a bad thing except for the part that they lock and beat people up for growing a plant.

It's *possible*, but I have a VERY hard time believing that those costs will be higher than the current monetary costs of enforcement and incarceration.
