MMJ and job creation question

im doing a presentation on the economic positives MMJ has done for the country. For the life of me I can't find any numbers on the amount of jobs MMJ has created. Does anyone have any links or possible numbers on the jobs that have been created from MMJ?

I'd look up stats on LEO and prison employment. cn

lol looking more for the positives

Hundreds of thousands. But, you have to factor in the amount of money they have spent on taking jobs away as-well. And the lives people have spent trying to make it big, and completely failing. All in all. I'd say it's about neutral...

Hard to say since those jobs have to be kept off the tax rolls. cn

Look @ the supply side, Hydro Stores, The little guy selling Grow stuff on E-bay etc. These are direct result.

How about we start out by checking the amount of dispensary's in a certain state like ca, I'm not saying this is reliable information but according to this link there are 7982 dispensary's in ca alone http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_marijuana_dispensaries_are_in_California , if this answer is correct you can probably assume that each of these dispensary's employ 5 to 10 people, so that's 39910 to 79820 in dispensary's jobs alone that doesn't include the growers or the hydro shops that provide the equipment.
