A recent study indicates that legalizing marijuana could mean significant financial gains for the economy in Israel.
Using estimates based on current black market demand, and using tax rates equivalent to those on tobacco cigarettes, the legalized sale of marijuana would generate over $260 million in government revenue. Add to that an estimated savings of $198 million worth of law enforcement costs attributed to marijuana use currently deemed illegal, and the move to legalization could generate in excess of $450 million annually.
The study, done by the Jerusalem Institute for Market Studies and published earlier this week, reported that the Israeli black market for cannabis is worth over $700 million annually, and was contributed to by about 275,000 adult consumers. Estimates of possible tax revenue were made using these numbers.
In a survey of public opinion that provided the data used to complete the study, around 75 percent of respondents agreed that there are legitimate medicinal uses for marijuana. However, support for legalization of recreational use was only 26% – half of what was found in the US by a similar study completed in March 2013, where public support of marijuana legalization was 52%.
When asked if knowing that legalization would generate a significant increase in tax revenue, 14.1% of respondents said they would “be very likely or likely to reconsider their position.”
Yarden Gazit, a co-author of the survey, was quoted saying, “Recognizing the enormous financial gains that would come from legalization demands that the government take a serious look at the proposal to legalize cannabis use under specific guidelines.” He added that, “There is no disputing that if the public is able to get past the wholly negative misperceptions associated with marijuana usage and appreciate the potential benefits with limited social or health care costs, this is an idea that needs open-minded and serious re-examination at this time.”
The survey, consisting of 500 representative respondents, was conducted by the Jerusalem-based firm Kevoon, and has a sampling error of 4.5%.

Un estudio reciente indica que la legalización de la marihuana podría significar beneficios económicos significativos para la economía de Israel.
Utilizando las estimaciones basadas en la demanda actual del mercado negro , y el uso de las tasas de impuestos equivalentes a los de los cigarrillos de tabaco , la venta legalizada de marihuana generaría más de $ 260 millones en los ingresos del gobierno . A esto se añade un ahorro estimado de valor de $ 198.000.000 de los costes de aplicación de la ley atribuyen a la marihuana utilizan actualmente considerada ilegal , y el paso a la legalización podría generar más de 450 millones de dólares anuales .
El estudio, realizado por el Instituto de Jerusalén para Estudios de Mercado y publicado a principios de esta semana , informó que el mercado negro de Israel para el cannabis vale más de $ 700 millones de dólares anuales , y se contribuyó a cerca de 275.000 consumidores adultos . Las estimaciones de posibles ingresos fiscales se hicieron usando
