Re: Money Does Grow If it's Marijuana

Marijuana is a drug and for that reason I would hate to condone the support of legalization. However, the benefits would be endless. Billions of dollars are spent every year on the transportation and purchase of marijuana. Drug cartels have posed an enormous danger, and many lives have been taken and many imprisoned from the operations. We have all learned from drug education it is bad for the brain, however, there has never been a reported death or record of overdose from the substance. Can't say the same for alcohol. If marijuana was to be legalized, the government could put a tax on it and have a greater source of revenue from a consumer product than ever before. Also, it would eliminate the trade of drug dealing and terminate the need for smuggling. The legalization of the substance could be a remedy to both debt and crime. Logistically, it would be extremely beneficial to the economy and could ultimately clean up the streets.
