WHA? Look at where we are as a country right now. It doesn't take marijuana to screw this country up, we've done perfectly fine at taking this country to the dumps while marijuana is still illegal. All the while the drug cartels are raking in billions of black market untaxed dollars. Marijuana isn't going to make or break us morally or ethically. Marijuana can, however solve many budget crises that states are facing all over this country. We live in a supposedly free country. We need to stop criminalizing marijuana and paying millions of dollars a year to imprison otherwise decent people, and start letting our citizens make their own choices about marijuana so that states can benefit from the taxes that sales will bring.
