Data Projects What the Legal Cannabis Market Would Look Like Under Full Legalization

According to a recent report published by New Frontier Data, under full federal legalization the cannabis market has the potential to create cumulatively $105.6 billion in federal tax revenue and 1 million new jobs by 2025. Under the assumption of full legalization in all 50 states, data projects there would be an excess of 654,000 jobs and would increase to 1 million jobs by 2025. The difference between the current structure and the theoretical model is a $61.6 billion increase in federal tax revenues. The report also explains that under full legalization, there would be more legal businesses entering the market, more consumers participating in the legal market, and more employees on official payrolls, resulting in $3.3 billion in payroll taxes. By 2025, payroll deductions would increase to $5.3 billion. Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE), United Cannabis Corporation (OTC: CNAB), Lifestyle Delivery Systems Inc.

New Frontier Data CEO Giadha Aguirre De Carcer said, “Under the new business tax rate of 21 percent, the Trump tax cuts will come as welcome relief to cannabis business owners who already face tax hurdles because of 280E. Lower tax rates may provide cannabis business owners greater capacity to grow and create more jobs. New Frontier Data projects increased domestic and international expansion of new legal cannabis markets and $106 billion in tax revenue over an eight-year period in the U.S.”
