Thats from a population of just over 17 million.
With a population nearly 20 times as great, that's a lot of dosh to put against the national debt in USA. if it was legalised.
Yes, and that is just income. There is also enormous savings from the reduction in crime by putting the black market out of business.

Sadly, in many cases here in the US the government just can't help itself but screw up legalizing it, resulting in a black market still existing and feeding crime.
