So my question is this:
Do you think decriminalizing marijuana could make a impact to recover our failing economy?
How I see it is if marijuana was controlled the same way cigarettes and alcohol are controlled (by taxing and regulating age of purchase) that it would have a significant impact on our budget woes.
By making them available to purchase at a gas station as you would cigarettes it pretty much eliminates the need for drug dealers, freeing up jail space, wasted police time and tax payer money. This in turn will eliminate the so called criminals that are in possession of a pack of "Mary Janes" doing the same effect of freeing up jail's and putting tax payer money to better use for the boy's in blue.
And by taxing it the same as the states do the government can use that money towards repaying the deficit.
According to NORML the amount of money that would be saved in decrimnalizing marijuana would be in the billions.
Eliminate this failed war on drugs and put the money towards schools, communities, and countries that look towards the American empire for help.
....whew.... gonna go take another toke after that rant.
