The world's greatest economists figured that the net gain would be on the order of fourteen billion dollars a year. The national debt is around four trillion dollars. Not counting the continued accrual of interest, it would take 285 years to pay off the debt. To pay it off in 7 years, it would have to make 571,000,000 in tax revenues every year. The entire US marijuana industry is estimated to be worth 40,000,000 a year, and that's with the 90% "prohibition tax".
