Should Marijuana be considered an illegal drug…?
Like alcohol prohibition, “trying” to make marijuana illegal has failed miserably and completely in the US! Legal or not, many people are using it! The only people benefiting are criminals, artificially raising prices, and making for an unsafe situation as criminals are becoming wealthier and more empowered. Our prisons are full with people who have committed marginal offenses (MJ, prostitution, etc.) because “Conservatives” believe they can legislate morality. Alcohol causes many more deaths per year than MJ; if MJ is illegal, alcohol should also be illegal (you can’t have it both ways, Cons!) Legalizing (and TAXING) MJ, just like alcohol, would give much-needed revenue to governments who are in dire need of funds, reduce drug-related criminal activity, and free our prison and court systems for serious criminals. If you agree, WRITE YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS. If you don’t know who they are, use http://www.congress.org/cong
