re: Legalize marijuana use the taxes for the budget

I don't understand why this is so hard. Legalize marijuana with certain stipulations.

1. If a company drug tests for marijuana, they can continue and reserve the right to fire an employee who fails that test or shows up "stoned".

2. All government employees are still test for marijuana and can lose their job for failing that test.

3. Anyone receiving any form of government aid cannot consume marijuana and will be subjected to random drug screens.*** (Assuming they start doing random drug screens on welfare recipients)

4. Anyone arrested for possession or distribution of marijuana before it's legalized has to serve the remainder of their sentence.

Have it regulated by the ATF and taxed at a fair %. So the states can also profit on the tax, but not so high that Johnny drug dealer off McKinley St. becomes the best option to buy from. Set a possession amount and anything over that will be deemed "product for sale". So people will have to file and obtain a grower's license to posses over the set amount (plants included). If no license and over the amount, then there will be a $$ penalty for not paying the tax on that amount and for not having a license.

Boom. Problem solved. Let's go blaze.
