Raich will have far-ranging consequences for medical cannabis pa- tients, caregivers, growers and dispen- sary operators fighting federal marijuana charges. Directly at stake are the homes, the businesses and the freedom of at least 30 defendants. Their cases were put on hold following a December 2003 ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals entitling Diane Monson and Angel Raich and her caregivers to use and cultivate marijuana under California law. The 9th Circuit injunction —which the Bush Administration challenged in Bryan Epis with daughter Ashley (above) after his release from month sentence before being allowed out on bail.

  • Estimated Amount of Tax Revenue Generated by Legalization
    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS IS THE GRASS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LAW?: THE ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF LEGALIZING MARIJUANA MICHELLE EVERT Spring 2010 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Economics and Spanish with honors in Economics Reviewed and approved* by the following: David Shapiro Professor of Economics and Co-Director of Undergraduate Studies Thesis Supervisor and Honors Adviser Bee Yan Roberts Professor of Economics and Asian Studies Faculty Reader * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. Abstract This thesis will discuss a variety of economic implications that could result from the legalization of marijuana. It will provide background information on marijuana laws and drug policy, including arguments for and against legalization. Next, the thesis will discuss the estimated tax revenue that can be obtained if marijuana were legalized, drawing on reports by Dr. Jeffrey Miron, Dr. Jon Gettman, and Max Chaiken. The following section presents a cost- savings analysis as argued by Dr. Jeffrey Miron. The thesis will then examine other economic issues affected by legalization and determines that there is the possibility for a successful hemp industry in the United States as well as positive economic implications for Mexico. Finally, the thesis concludes with a libertarian perspective on the issue to demonstrate the way a good number of economists view drug policy an alternative view of legalization outside of the mainstream Democratic and Republican perspectives. i.

Nadelmann Ethan A. Nadelmann is the founder and director of the Drug Policy Alliance. This selection first appeared in National Review, July 12, 2004. Never before have so many Americans supported decriminalizing and even legalizing marijuana. Seventy-two percent say that for sim- ple marijuana possession, people should not be incarcerated but fined: the generally accepted definition of “decriminalization.”1 Even more Americans support making marijuana legal for medical pur- poses. Support for broader legalization ranges between 25 and 42 percent, depending on how one asks the question.2 Two of every five Americans—according to a 2003 Zogby poll—say “the government should treat marijuana more or less the same way it treats alcohol: It should regulate it, control it, tax it, and only make it illegal for chil- dren.”3 Close to 100 million Americans—including more than half of those between the ages of 18 and 50—have tried marijuana at least Copyright ᭧ 2004 Ethan A.
