Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Selon ce rapport, l'interdiction du cannabis coûterait aux États-Unis près de 42 milliards $ par an. Le chiffre annoncé est composé de frais de justice et de pertes fiscales. Selon l'analyse, les autorités judiciaires dépenserait annuellement 10,7 milliards $ pour les arrestations et les poursuites de délits liés au cannabis. A cette somme s'ajoutent annuellement 31,1 milliards $ correspondant aux pertes fiscales.
ENGLISH:
Government reports from the Office of National Drug Control Policy, the Library of Congress, and other sources indicate that the supply of marijuana in the United States is 14,349 metric tons, or 31.1 million pounds. Various price indexes from public and private sources produce a retail price of $7.87/gr or $3,570/lb, setting the overall retail value of the illicit marijuana market at $113 billion. Government reports indicate that the nation's marijuana laws cost taxpayers $41.8 billion annually. The Office of Management and Budget reports that local, state, and the federal government receipts represent 28.7% of the gross domestic product as tax revenue. The diversion of $113 billion from the taxable economy into the illicit economy deprives taxpayers of $31.1 billion annually. Marijuana arrests cost taxpayers $10.7 billion annually.
