Medicinal Marijuana

Economic Concerns
legalization will cause consumption of
marijuana to increase, and this increase will have direct economic costs in terms of healthcare, social
services and criminal justice
Other court and law enforcement costs may also rise due to the shift in drug
enforcement spending to tax enforcement spending
taxation, licensing, and industry could generate more
than $8.7 billion in gov revenue
The productivity of workers is a large concern as marijuana would effect the way one works, but it is compared to alcohol, as most consumers would not go to work intoxicated and would be reserved to weeknights or weekends
legalization will reduce
the need for prosecutorial, judicial, correctional, and police resource spending by approximately $7.7
billion – $13.7 billion per year
