Some useful figures on Marijuana

From a report by Jeffrey A. Miron, a visiting professor of economics at Harvard:

This report concludes that marijuana legalization would reduce government expenditure by $7.7 billion annually. Marijuana legalization would also generate tax revenue of $2.4 billion annually if marijuana were taxed like all other goods and $6.2 billion annually if marijuana were taxed at rates comparable to those on alcohol and tobacco.

Comments:
Would marijuana be and effective soma for the next generation?
 
Pot a better soma than TV? I doubt it. It does have the same nasty side effect of making you stupid.
