Not nearly as much as the millions of jobs in CJ, LE and the detention industries.
It speaks directly to your question/deflection. The tax revenue is a failed argument from the start.

The detention industry costs the government billions every year while the cannabis industry generates billions for the government

Deflection? The thread is about legalization and the benefits of it.
The pot industry is reliant on billions of dollars of taxpayer funded infrastructure to even exist and will never generate the kinds of revenues those millions of jobs can and do.

It is indeed awesome how profitable we made jailing our population. #1 in both total prisoners and per capita. #MAGA #KeepAmericaImprisoned

I doubt weed is as bad for you as some think, but I would imagine if one smoked a lot the tar would be pretty brutal on your lungs.
Itās odd i never tried it, I think what saved me from trying it was when I was in high school there was a certain type (stoners) that did it and most of us didnāt want to associate with them. I know that sounds smug but private school will do that to you 
Iām ok with the legalization of marijuana, anything to take profits from the Mexican drug cartel is a step in the right direction.
The major dangers are psychological, and far less threatening physically than many other drugs including alcohol.
Thereās no sound scientific argument that supports the idea that MJ has more negative direct health consequences than Alcohol so that part of the pro dope argument is flawless.
I donāt oppose it on a greater/lesser harm basis, I oppose it because I see no value in adding even more stoned people to the population legally to pose even more threats to those of us who are sober.
In other words, not remotely worth citing.
Iāve never felt threatened by a stonerā¦everā¦if one finds themselves threatened by one, then they need to rethink their lives
Who exactly said anything about being feeling threatened?
Quit asserting things Iāve never said.
This isnāt a classroom and academic works are not in any way the last word on anything.
Actually you didā¦literally your last post.
Or we gonna parse because you said threat and not threatened and therefore its somehow not the samethingā¦and then I get bored with you and move on?
You see no value in smaller government and more individual freedom and less government intrusion in our lives?
