Can anyone direct me to some facts on mj use in america?

[jumpoff_the_planet]

I am doing a persuasive speech in which I need to persuade my audience that we should legalize, Tax, and regulate marijuana.

I was wondering if anyone here could point me to some facts on how many users there are and any surveys that have been done recently as well as any recent research regarding mj

I would like to show how many users there are currently and how much tax revenues we could possibly generate

And I want to show some figures for how much it costs taxpayers each day to have someone locked up in prison

If anybody could direct me towards some factual information regarding this I would appreciate it!
