I’m having a lot of trouble choosing between the B-2’s and the aircraft carriers, although I’m leaning towards the carriers.

"Miron finds that by decriminalizing cannabis, the federal government would generate $2.4 billion in federal tax revenue annually" About the same amount owed by IRS employees who refuse to file tax forms.

the federal government would generate $2.4 billion in federal tax revenue annually How?
Marijuana can be grown in virtually every state, either indoors or outdoors. Those who use pot will prefer to buy it through home grown sources rather than subsidize the government by buying government packaged joints.
Thus they are setting up the need for an enforcement agency to go after the backyarder's. Is this cost deducted from the 2.4 Billion?

The math: $2.4 billion per year + $7.7 billion per year = $10.1 billion gained in total per year.Not even a $1 is downside cost? I'm doubting the seriousness of this analysis...

I agree that pot should at least be decriminalized. But that kind of tax money from it is a pipe dream. It’s a weed, it can be grown almost anywhere.

Marijuana is not illegal just because we want to have a reason to arrest someone. It is illegal because it is harmful and dangerous to use.
Anyone calling for the legalization of marijuana is an idiot.

“Jeffery A. Miron finds that by decriminalizing cannabis, the federal government would generate $2.4 billion in federal tax revenue annually,”
Why the hell would anyone pay high taxes on something they could legally grow at their from door step, especially when they’re too stoned to get a good job? More crappy work like this kind of “dopey” study is more likely what we could expect from decriminalization

We could get even MORE tax dollars by taxing homosexual behavior, incest, prostitution, hate speech, fast food, twinkies, etc., etc.
If we legalize murder, legalize rape, legalize assault, etc., and tax them by eliminating all laws, we can eliminate income taxes, too.
