That was what I was going to say. Why say 16 million ounces? MY GOD, that is 453 million grams!

Good to know that, with these harsh economic times, the world's third largest economy isn't taxing it's number one cash crop. FAIL.

Think of the tax revenue from all of that.

OK, so a 40% increase followed by an 11% decrease after taxes kick in. That really isn't too bad. So you would have 30% more people smoking weed and paying taxes. I think this would be far superior to having to pay for the arrest, prosecution, and subsequent detention and probation/parole of pot smokers.

That's only one million pounds. You realize now that whenever law enforcement makes a "big bust" of a thousand pounds, pfft, drop in the bucket big deal.
