UK Legal Cannabis Market 'worth £1.25bn a year'.

Post by the.jetsharks »

Here's an article that came out in the guardian this morning:

http://www.theguardian.com/society/2013 ... rket-worth

It's saying that a recent report suggests a legal cannabis market in England and Wales alone would be worth £1.25 Billion a year to the government - 300 million saved in law enforcement costs and the rest i guess from taxable revenue. It's worth a read over.

Todays Guardian said that "higher strength home grown cannabis" - makes legalisation tricky - however a seed is grown methinks. Would certainly re-invigorate many struggling towns and High Streets (!).....eventually , eventually ....
