Criminalizing marijuana is one of the largest atrocities to the American people. It has ruined many lives, cost taxpayers lots of money, helped create the huge cartel problem that is prevalent in South America with the slough of issues they bring to our country.
By far, the most dangerous thing about marijuana has always been marijuana laws. Marijuana laws have caused way more destruction than marijuana itself csn ever cause.
Legalization will have a positive impact on the economy and will bring revenue to the federal government where it can be used to offset tax relief in other areas, one of them being ending income tax on overtime pay.
It’s about time to legalize it from the federal level. Reclassification is not enough. If anything all it does is open the door for pharmaceutical companies to capitalize on, while still leaving a door for the government to prosecute people through.
