Drug Use in America

Apparently…we Americans are the top consumers of cocaine and cannibis!  Just imagine how many billions the government could make in excise tax if they legalized them…This article claims $5 billion just for marijuana in 1991 dollars, which would be roughly $8 billion in 2008 dollars (with no account for market growth).  Add in some more revenue from cocaine and poof!  $10-15 billion or even more for schools or healthcare or whatever you like.

I apologize for the short, late post today… there’s a good one coming tomorrow  :-)
