    A new study done recently has shown that by not legalizing marijuana, the state governments are missing out on $28 billion dollars in recreational marijuana sales. The study shows that the revenue would be through taxing marijuana. The study even pokes fun of all who think ill of marijuana and think it's addicting and oppose legalizing it.

    See the article above for full details.

    I've been saying this for years. They're only just now figuring it out?

    They're also idiots. And jerks. And stuck in the past.

    The study doesn't even factor in the money spent keeping people locked up for pot offenses.
