^- Shows how little you know on the subject, the legalization plays a big part in the economy and other things, its a $15 Billion dollar "industry".
Im sure we've all seen "Armageddon", well, Nasa's budget for detecting any meteor/asteroid/comet is only $4 MILLION, where as the government spends 1 BILLION annualy jailing Marijuana related crimes which are usually non-violent offenders. Creating more jail space for violent ones, less money being wasted on jailing stoners, more money for other important things.
FFS prohibition has killed more people than Marijuana itself, there are no reported deaths.
Also, the government views Marijuana as having no medicinal value, which is complete bullshit as studies have shown. Its a valid treatment for a variety things.
On top of that, the goverment will finally leave old people alone. The state of California has medical Marijuana, but the D.E.A, under federal law, refuses to comply with state law, so they bust down the doors of "dispensaries" waiving AR 15's in the faces of people in wheelchairs and on crutches, they act like its a damn cartel.
Also, if Marijuana is legalized that creates the possibilty of a viable and usable fuel from hemp.
Get educated.
