The legalization of marijuana has brought in millions (maybe billions?) in tax revenue to those states that have allowed it. Just imagine what each state and even the federal government could do with such extra money. Rather than wasting millions in tax money on a fight that can't be won ,right??

Or maybe you guys got another opinions??

I think if we would speak on the in terms of the community and economic positiveness, maybe it is it. But I'm concerned about the health of the people who gets an actual right to smoke.

Some people says that marijuana is good for our health and if it's really true then it's ok to make it legal. But many people can abuse using this if it will become a legal and I think that's not good because excessive marijuana use is not good in our health and maybe that is the reason why in other country marijuana is not legal.

I'm not supporting the legalization of marijuana, but I can say that bitcoin and blockchain would be very useful for the country government, if they would be able to handle and regulate it.

legalize marijuana can indeed give a very big profit for a country, but will be many negative things that will happen in the country, maybe criminality will increase also because of the effect caused by consuming marijuana.
so the government must still limit and keep monitoring the circulation and consumption of marijuana in order to avoid something that is not in want.

Marijuana bole is legal, but there must be an agency that regulates the circulation of this item, because if marijuana is circulated by human who likes to criminal, it will be an extraordinary social problem
I am also monitoring the progress of this regulation, since the legalization of this marijuana

In particular, the war would be a gold mine because the government could sell weapons for a fight at a high price.

I think he was referring to the lost "war on drugs" that the US has been fighting for decades now, not that I would expect you to read this reply or understand it if you did.

Regardless of whether legalization of marijuana (or any other drug) would be good for the economy, I support people's freedom to ingest whatever chemicals they wish to--with restrictions like alcohol has. I most definitely see the drawbacks of substance use/abuse, but the crime that has been manufactured because of drugs being illegal has harmed society more so than if they were legal. Anyone seen any of those Mexican cartel torture videos? That shit is brutal and is a direct result of US drug policies, and Mexico's as well.

As to economic effects, it certainly couldn't hurt. I have a hard time believing the gain in tax revenue and jobs associated with the marijuana industry would be undone by its harm to health or society. I think a lot of people have known that for a long time, but trying to get a government to change its idiotic ways is very difficult.

Yes, maybe legalization of marijuana might bring million of tax that can be used by the government in the nation building. But how about if the people became addicted to it and the tax that the government will collect will just proceed to the rehabilitation of the addict.

Legalizing marijuana might help many patients as well with an exceptional medical condition to ease their sufferings. So, it is a good basis for legalization. But I guess the government should look for the wider picture of this topic. If this will gonna implemented by the government, strict rules and regulation must be formulated, observed and implemented.

War has never been meaningless for governments because they know this is the best way to become more prominent and have a say in the world. In particular, the war would be a gold mine because the government could sell weapons for a fight at a high price.

I could not agree more with you. The war on drugs is a business, some people are profiting a lot with it, and that's only the major reason that we won't see legalization in some places at least for a long time.

for a country that takes taxes on marijuana, can be profitable. but for users and addicts, it is a big loss. because we know that marijuana is very expensive. and marijuana if in excessive consumption is also not good for health.

Legalization of marijuana not only saves the money of the government by fighting it, it also made money by opening new jobs, new businesses and such. I know people use marijuana as a recreational drug, but if the government is able to regulate it and be strict about it then it will not be abused (not that it's addictive, or so I've been told).

Canada has legalized it on a national level and reached a revenue sharing agreement with their provinces to split the tax revenue. Because of this, there has been an explosion of investment in the industry there and Canada will soon lead the world in this industry. Such a policy is creating new jobs and the legalization will free police and courts from enforcing or otherwise dealing with pointless and harmless violations. Republicans in this country are far too concerned with legislating morality (and doing a poor job at it for having stupid and arbitrary priorities) for the US to seriously consider following in Canada's footsteps and so is ceding the development of an emerging industry to other nations.

In some counties that there are good possibilities that happened when they legalized the marijuana but not all the countries in the whole world. Why? Because its community some of them they abuse using marijuana. They using it a drugs and some them are minors.

Marijuana is illegal in my country, how come minors are still able to abuse it? It is a matter of choice of the person himself/herself if they are going to abuse marijuana be it illegal or legal. I think the only thing that changes when it becomes legal is the economy of it. It's actually a lot cheaper while it's illegal because once you've made that legal, people will be selling it everywhere and people will all be buying it. The supply wouldn't last and at some point, stores will be left nothing but high quality weed which is a lot more expensive than the usual ones. Funny how people be thinking that they can abuse drugs once it has become legal. The truth tho, it will be a lot more expensive.

Nonetheless, this will increase the overall collected tax. It's good for the economy of a country. People have another thing to consume and get addicted to just like beers, liquors, and cigarettes. Add a sin tax to that then bam! in a couple of years, the economy is booming. FYI, though, there wouldn't be as much casualties if people do get hooked on weed because it doesn't make you do bad things. It helps you relax.

After the legal sale of marijuana, not only can tax increase be increased, but also the employment rate can be increased. Legal cannabis factories produce sesame oil, sesame oil and the like (concentrated cannabis oil products without any taste).
Can also effectively prevent minors from exposure to marijuana, because marijuana is harmful to undeveloped brains.

I think it's better to be legalized because lots of people already using it illegally. So why not to take tax from it and let it to be crime?

Maybe depending on the country that you reside though because here its going to create another round of social menace for the society. As at today, there is nothing illegal about smoking cigarettes but the social costs is second to none even to someone who is not smoking and with the inscription of them being able to die young. Marijuana is even worse, people don't get high by smoking cigarettes the medical effects are there but marijuana combines the two to the extent that when you see someone misbehaving, destroying things he could not afford in a lifetime, the source of such energy is nothing other than marijuana.

If government should then start because of revenue then open the flood gates for people to bury themselves in marijuana, then they should start putting up rehabilitation centres for those who will be admitted there, insurance policies for the properties they will destroy when they are high, medical facilities to take care of those who will be exposed to social hazard etc. Its the worst decision any government can take without putting necessary infrastructures in place.

I think it has to do with politicians and there involvement in the community/state/county/area/company/industry they represent. If politicians earn't more from legalising "whatever" i am sure they wouldn't even hesitate!

Why not? People will get high,and do all the stupid things that they wouldn't have done while they weren't high. Things will change for the better. Population might increase rapidly for a while but things will go back to control once they realize it.
Jokes aside,obviously marijuana is not good for any economy, I don't know why Canada did it.

I dont see any good from legalising marijuana, its a substance for making people high and can do thinga that they dont realise when they high, and even if the marijuana bring a lot of money to the economic, but the country will need extra money to hire paramedic and police because people will do stupid things when they high, so I think legalising marijuana might not too good for the country reputation

Really? People don't realize that they are high? Are you for real?
AFAIK people aren't dumb monkeys. They know that drinking alcohol will eventually make them drunk and that smoking weed makes you high. They also know when they are high, believe me. Also, there were several tests conducted on the influence of marijuana on people and some of them, like the high driving tests, can be seen on youtube. It's interesting that high people were driving quite well up to a certain point. Much better than drunk people would.
Legalizing is the most logical option.

In theory, marijuana is less harmful to individuals and societies than sugar, alcohol and cigarettes. It seems reasonable to legalize the legalization of sugar and alcohol.

The legalization of marijuana is the progress of mankind, and the legitimacy should be the product of the development of civilized society.
