The marijuana industry is growing so fast that if the government legalized it nationally it would outsell ice cream. A new report from Marijuana Business Daily estimates that the total demand for marijuana, including the black market, is $45-$50 billion. Annual ice cream sales are only $5.1 billion. Total recreational cannabis sales in the U.S. at this estimate would also top movie ticket sales ($11.1 billion) and snacks like Doritos, Cheetos and Funyuns ($4.9 billion.) .

The report says that the cannabis sector now employs between 165,000 and 230,000 full and part-time workers. “To put this in perspective, there are now more marijuana workers than there are bakers or massage therapists in the United States,” says the report. It even outnumbers dental hygienists.

It would also increase the demand for things like doritos and ice cream, thus driving up their sales.

It's stupid that we are putting people in prison for weed in 2017. And I'm a far right leaning Republican on most issues

this is not a surprise to me at all....I am sure that beer sales exceed those two items now, so we are talking about basically the same thing.

What's all this talk about a "Flat Tax"?
People with flat tires have enough problems already!

I agree, but it would be nice to be able to get it in every city without any problems

Currently: zero usage.
If legalized I would probably smoke once or twice a month. Maybe more, Maybe less.

at least ice cream is somewhat ok for you. Legalizing a dangerous narcotic just because people would do it isn't really a good idea

bullshite. I live in Washington state and my office is 200 yards from a weed shop. The vast majority of the clientele (80+%) look exactly like the stoner stereotype. Straight out of central casting. White trash, scraggly-arse hippies in wife beaters with bad facial hair, gauges in their ears, driving beat up cars. We look out the window at them and see the exact same people, over and over, all day long.
