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.
