Should marijuana be legalized in the states?:
I agree. I don't smoke marijuana but think it should be legalized. Think of how much money the government would save/make.
1 The government spends loads of money to try and prevent people from using marijuana. With advertisements and all.
2 the government has to spend tax money to build new prison's, because so many people get arrested for possession.
3 Government could tax it similar to how they tax tobacco and alcohol, so they could potentially make Millions maybe even more.
4 police could spend time actually helping people rather than trying to bust people for smoking a little marijuana every now and then.
5 could create new jobs and stimulate the economy with people buying and selling.
