In this CNN article, many issues are mentioned this blog's purpose will be focused on the legalization of marijuana. The article talks about many economist, politicians, and policemen who agree that the legalization of marijuana would be beneficial to our economy. Most importantly, it will save us a lot of money. Cops claim that money and time is wasted with arrests on possession. Most pot-smokers will not stop even if they do get in trouble with the law. Economist and politicians argue that we would make much more money as a country if marijuana was legalized and taxed.
This is very true. If everyone was forced to buy pot from a government store and it was taxed than the U.S. would have a sufficient increase in tax dollars, no questions asked.
To this day, marijuana, has yet to kill anyone. How many problems, death, and injuries has alcohol caused? Alcohol is more harmful than pot but for some reason alcohol is legal and marijuana is not. Every one that wants to smoke pot does it anyway...even though they know its against the law. It is an embarrassment to our society, along with the rate of underage drinking.
