Price of Pot
* Note: I have removed this report temporarily. There is some question as to the number of users per state. The source I used from SAMSHA has been “updated”. I await a response from the DHH to see if the numbers are now finalized or if they plan on further “updates”. I will leave the original pdf available and will hopefully revisit this whole issue later.

At best, if there was a significant drop in work load for several budget cycles, the town council or w/e may adjust the budget. I understand what you and Caine are saying in the short run, the cops would remain employed, but when people realize how much money is being utterly wasted budget is going to be cut eventually. http://jlutes.net/wordpress/?p=42 […]
The idea of dividing the total cost of a police force by the number of arrests is actually a methodology used by the ONDCP in an effort to highlight how expensive a particular drug is to society. While I agree that we would never see a full return because many law enforcement would remain employed, the calculation itself still stands.
