Billions will not be saved.

By their own figures, in 2001, Missouri law enforcement found and destroyed over 70 million pot plants. Of that total, less than 12 thousand were described as "cultivated marijuana". That means the remaining 69.988 million were worthless feral ditchweed hemp. How much do you figure it costs to do that? That's one state. For one year.

So if marijuana were legal, where's your savings? Would the size of the police force be reduced? Would the State of Missouri then announce a tax cut? You think?

Hint: No.
