Hundreds of millions of dollars, but that's not the biggest problem.

The marijuana laws ruin lives and create two unnecessary classes of criminal, marijuana dealers and marijuana smokers, neither of whom are a danger to society.

The other factor is that the focus of law enforcement, courts and jails on marijuana enforcement prevents those resources from being used to actually impact crime or protect people.

Answer - Not a dime. Every penny spent is worth it. Grow up. Quit getting high.
