I also think that legalization of cannabis can help the US economy cannabis is being used for medical purposes in many countries of the world and it is expected that will be used in many more countries in the near future. Governments of different countries give importance to cannabis cultivation in order to make profit from this potential sector. the use of cannabis in the United States for medical use is legalized the demand for recreational use of cannabis will also be strengthened which will further expand the global cannabis trade.

I don't know if Cannabis demand in America are high or not, if the demand high it should be able to help the US economy.
But Cannabis is one of those dangerous to the health of the body if used in the long term, therefore in my opinion legalizing
Cannabis is not the best solution to help the American economy. Not because want to help the US economy, it is the American
population who is at a disadvantage, as we know there are many negative effects caused by Cannabis.

Prescription opioids are causing the deaths of around 50,000 people every year in the United States. And how many deaths are caused by Marijuana? If weed gets legalized in the United States, the number of deaths from these synthetic opioids will go down significantly, and a lot of lives will be saved. However, the pharma cartels will face huge losses and that's one of the reasons why they are opposing the legalization of cannabis.

Vishnu.Reang thanks for explaining one of the facts about cannabis! Many people don't have a clue what cannabis actually is! Now I could talk about that for hours, but all the facts can be found on many places online, testimonies, videos, whatever you want, people just need to have a desire to learn.
I will just point out one fact, it's a plant! It's a seed that you plant in the ground and you get a beautiful product that can be used for many many things, and one of those things is pleasuring yourself and your mind!

Many countries are thinking to legalize cannabis, at least in certain forms, primarily for medical not economic reasons.
I don't think legalization and legislation would contribute to economy, especially not in country like US. To feel benefits on economy production and export should be very big and cannabis and cannabis related industry should become one of the top products and I don't think this will happen. The only who could benefit from cannabis legalization would be sick people who have troubles with illnesses where cannabis can bring them relief.

Of course, legalization will help the development of the US economy, because there will be new products from cannabis, and people will not buy grass and the like not legally through telegram, it will bring profit to the country. It will still be sold not everywhere but as in other countries where it is legalized in coffee shops. In addition to drugs there are many drugs that are also made from cannabis, the so-called highly active hypnotics and obespechivaushyi, my friends had surgery, and not to suffer from pain uses CBD oil with the addition of THX, and there is a SC oil which is a sedative, someone will be interested to read about this in more detail.

Cannabis are considered illegal under the federal law, but few States of US have legalized the usage of cannabis for the medicinal and recreational needs. Legalization isn't gonna make any changes to the US economy. As per the different data year to year the consumption of cannabis in USA have increased. This has added up tax revenue of more than 1.19 billion this year. So, when legalized the market will widen, but it helping the economy will happen in a very small percentage.

 From the views of everything concerning cannabis you will understand that cannabis is not something we can handle without some certain precautions or measures.

Cannabis in some extent is actually good for some individuals body chemistry due to the process of personal consumption, which another person can't take the same measures of consuming it.

Legalising use of cannabis will add more corruption in the country so any country that want to do such is going to be in damage because every young adults will misuse it.

In terms of election, it's base on the choice of any aspirant who happened to emerge as incumbent president, but if wrong people votes because of legalisation of cannabis is the entire country that will suffer.

The legalization cant change anything at all. The economy needs to be healed in all fields. A single industry can not make everything become better. The article mislead people the overall economy. Impact of the legalization can not compare with the next Presidential election. New policies is indispensable so as to stimulate the whole country. You need to understand that US economy depends on services and industries. Flowers and drug can not bring more jobs

Being stoned drives people lazy. But at least they might be happy with it. People are really exhausted with the pandemic. Feeling calm and pleased can boost people's optimistic so as they might be more productive for later work.

Hope the next president will have a clear method. After all, government still plays an important role of a country. Wiser the leader is, the better the country's strengh is.

Economy is made to be like that, human race would never allow the whole world and all policies to be good, that is why economy has always been since the humanity started a way to make sure there are slaves and there are rulers and there are drug addicts. Maybe back in the day it was the places you conquer that you take slaves from, after a while it was not just nationality but also race as well, maybe it was governmentally supported, doesn't matter humanity always had it. Today? Well they can't call it slavery anymore and make you think you have a "choice" but in reality if you can't stay unemployed for 6 months without starving to death, that means you do not have a choice, you are a salary slave, you are still not free, you are definitely forced to be someones slave or die and that will continue unless the poor changes something.

Does that mean that they can't actually use cannabis?

I mean they couldn't use cannabis even if it is for medical purposes? Isn't that bad since there are a lot of people that needed cannabis and without that they would be exposed to other things that could affect their health just like you said about the overdosing to synthetic opioids? I thought people could use cannabis despite the ban of it as long as it is for medical purposes.

No. It is not legal.

Only in countries where it is legal to use medical marijuana, you can do that. In countries such as Malaysia, Cannabis is banned. And this ban covers both medical and recreational usage. If I am not wrong, Malaysia recently sentenced a few people to death for using cannabis oil as a painkiller. In such cases, you will be forced to use the alternative (synthetic opioids), although they are not 100% safe.

Cannabis is a plant! Making some plant legal or illegal is crazy, but it's happening around the world for decades...


So the question is not "Can legalization of Cannabis help the US economy?" Economy is nothing compared with people and nature around, why we force economy at the expense of people and nature around?!


Question is:


DYOR before you create opinion about something! Don't let others (governments, rules, regulations, medias...) shape you how they want you to be!

The issue of cannabis export is rife in my country and it has just been discovered that cannabis is one of the national fostered plants as stated in a regulation issued by the Ministry of Agriculture because it is categorized as a medicinal plant. But although it is believed to have positive benefits for the body, cannabis also causes damage to the body, especially the use of its leaves which are consumed directly which can cause delusions and hallucinations. The potential for mental disorders caused by the use of cannabis is a sufficient reason for banning its use without a doctor's instructions.

Doesn't mean it will be legalized means all of the people could use it.

Obviously there will be a limitation to the people who are using it. They could just let them use these drugs in medication, just to treat those people who really needed it. They will not be legalizing this if they will not be thinking of the obviouse consequences that would happen in the future.

A lot of people, especially those who are suffering from cancer and other serious ailments would like to use cannabis oil (Cannabidiol). There is a widespread belief that it is very effective and it has less side effects. Also a lot of people say that Cannabidiol is not as addictive as some of the synthetic Opioids. Actually, if Cannabidiol is legalized then it can prevent tens thousands of deaths. Last year, around 50,000 people died in the United States as a result of overdose from synthetic opioids.

Of course! It will be good in the sense that this business from the shadow and criminal business became an ordinary business (sorry for the tautology), and also related to medicine.

Thats will be the main problem when that time comes. Criminal activities will increase as this drug can be used anytime, as guns are so normal to own in US, it will be a good pair in my opinion.

The fact is that the implementation of cannabis can be considered with certain restrictions. In addition, one must take into account the benefits that cannabis provides for people who have not only psychological, but also physical problems. If we consider the strength of the narcotic substance contained in cannabis, then it is practically comparable to alcoholic beverages. if cannabis is banned, alcohol must be banned.

You are forgetting the fact that alcohol was banned in a number of countries earlier. Prohibition in the United States was in place from 1920 to 1933, and was enacted due to pressure from the church. It was a disaster. The alcohol was available in every nook and corner, but the only difference was that the trade had gone underground and crime rates had increased by manifold. Fortunately, a secular government removed this stupid measure in 1933 despite objection from the church. Today's scenario is not much different. The church is in the forefront of the anti-cannabis movement.

I don't agree. In countries such as Uruguay and Portugal, the crime rates went down sharply after the soft-drugs were legalized. On top of that, the deaths from overdose also went down. And you need to remember that the vast majority of the overdose deaths in the US results from prescription opioids and not from the illegal narcotics. And regarding guns, in a majority of the criminal cases the weapons used are not legally registered.
I have heard about the narcotic solution in Portugal, they diverted their focus on eliminating the drugs instead they put their efforts in rehabilitating the people that uses it, it was effective as people was getting an effective rehabilitation. Regarding gun violence having a connection to drugs, if weapons manufacturing and regulated with iron hand restrictions, I think it will be effective. The perpetrator weapons are mostly illegally possessed or the requirements to get it is as easy as buying into the store, there is a difference.

I do not have a stance against cannabis yet because there are still few researches and studies that are solid about the benefits of recreational or medical use. I think there is no long term study on the effects but if there will be I hope that the US consider legalizing it because it is an oppurtunity that has been slipping between their fingers for a long time now. Legalizing also meant that prison population will considerably decrease as many are imprisoned because of possession of marijuana.

The legalization of cannabis is as a result of inability to prohibit the use, so government proffer a regulated use: I expect such use to manage the quantity available in the form provided for the market. Cannabis is not the only drug that increases crime activities, alcohol does too but research showed that excess use of the drug result in most of these crime but how do we control excess use also. Excess quantities varies in individual
