Many billions of taxpayers dollars are spent every year on arresting people for using marijuana, throwing them in jail, trying them, convicting them, and them putting them in prison...all paid for by the U.S. taxpayer.
What a waste of money and resources...


You claim Billions of tax dollars spent, I'm sure you have stats and figures on this, so you must also have stats a figures on how much $money$ has been payed to municipalities in the way of fines etc.

Compare the two for us, please.

How much money has been spent and how much money has been taken in.

Thanks.

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.
