If anyone needs further proof of the fallacy of America's "War on Drugs", a study published on Monday by Jon Gettman, who has a Ph.D. in public policy from George Mason University and publishes extensively on the pot business, finds that marijuana in America is a $113 billion annual business that costs taxpayers $41.8 billion in enforcement costs and lost tax revenues annually. $41 billion dollars would go a long way (even for America's fiscal basket case of a federal government). Plus, it would make sense in "the land of the free", would it not?
