Predictions for US market by 2030 say that it will be worth 40-70 billion USD.
Schumer's bill proposes federal taxes 12.5% (small producers) - 25% (big producers).
That would be 10-17.5 billion a year (best case scenario).
US spends 40 billion USD for cannabis prohibition a year.

So, just by not enforcing the idiotic prohibition on a plant, US would save 2-4x more than they'd get on taxes (in a best case scenario), every year. And that doesn't include spending tax money on prisoners and the rest of the expenses that put that number even higher than it is.
