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?

The legalization of marijuana in the United States is more beneficial than harmful.
Legalising marijuana could be an industry that would crack down on drug dealers to create jobs and fill the coffers.

Legalizing marijuana not only can hit Mexican drug cartels, it can also stimulate domestic economic development, create opportunities and drive related industries around the country.
It is an effective palliative for the federal government, which is now constrained by congress.

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

Legalizing marijuana and other drugs seems like a no brainer from so many angles. It allows proper taxation which can generate tax revenue that can be put to good use, it controls consumption and can allow for addicts to get better help, it reduces drug related crimes, I could go on, there are few negatives that I can think of, mostly unverifiable claims that it would increase consumption.

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??

Marijuana is a highly medicinal plant, but a lot of people have misused and abused it for another purpose. The USA is among the top countries which have several cases of under-age children taking marijuana to 'get high' and you don't blame the government for putting a ban in it. Yes, there is a lot of money to be made from it but it's better to put a hold on it for the sake of some kids whom are still growing.

Economy? Yes. If marijuana in several other countries were to be permitted to be used as a form of a leisure drug, then fuck yeah, millions of dollars would be pouring out in just that sector, no doubt. There's tons of potheads around every country and so far, I haven't seen any reports about someone under the influence of marijuana hurt, abused, or killed anyone they came into contact with. Marijuana is nice, and studies show that it has more benefits in the body compared to other herbs that are legally being produced and sold. The thing is, some governments are corrupt to the core that they don't allow marijuana to be sold because they silently permit other dangerous drugs such as meth and cocaine to flourish since it is a bigger industry compared to the former.

this is somewhat at odds with the anti-narcotics propaganda that it would be possible that minors would use marijuana without the knowledge of others or their parents, not a way out to boost the country's economy for me, there would be better things that are more positive which can make the country's economy soar but in fact the profits from marijuana are enormous and abundant as the country that legalizes marijuana rapid economic development quickly and simultaneously reduces unemployment every year, I see many articles potentially marijuana many can be used as medicine, if only used medical reasons I think it's a bit plausible with limited inventory without free sellers.

I am not a us citicen but i belive the comercialization of marijuana will be in a field where the customers wont be absent. It is strange to make a public legal market for such drugs but hey, who am i to judge?

I watched the anniversary of marijuana smokers that was celebrated some days back with the amount of people involved with so much joy and happiness in their faces I felt concern for this generation and the law makers have equally disappointed the coming generation for promulgating that law. They make law about smoking marijuana for recreational purpose without considering other factors.
Economically, the marijuana business is a huge one that could turn millionaire in a short while, an already available market, its own unique supply chain but the cost outweighs its benefit from my own standpoint which ranges from the cost of ensuring compliance with the law to not exceeding the amount of grams to be consumed, to ensure that they are restricted to certain places to smoke without endangering the members of the public, the cost treating those who will have mental issues as a result of abuse and a whole lot of other non quantitative disadvantages.

Nope, I have no other opinions on this. OP hit the nail on the head with his post.
The war on drugs that the US gov't has been waging for most of the 20th century to the present has not only been futile, it's had many negative effects. It's put millions of people in jail, it's wasted money fighting it, it's stigmatized drug users, and it's facilitated the spread of lifestyle diseases like hepatitis C and HIV. I still can't figure out what all this was in the name of.
And marijuana? Please, that's almost funny. So yeah, the legalization of it is a great first step toward reversing all of the damage that the gov't has done throughout the years. Having it banned has had the same effects as Prohibition, and we all know how that worked out. The tax revenues will certainly help the states and the federal gov't as well, if they ever wake up and start following suit. It'll instantly cut down on crime, too, and that's probably most important.
It's good for the economy and a lot of other things, too. Glad this all is happening.

Legalization is a better policy imo.
Legal weed with higher health and production standards decreases the degree to which marijuana can be tampered with. In cases where a person smoked weed and developed a case of anxiety(or other issue), it is likely the weed they smoked was laced with a hard drug of some type. Drug dealers sometimes lace weed with other things to get people addicted to other drugs. Legalization has the potential to cut down on these types of illicit practices. Over the long term, legalization also has a good potential to increase the production of weed which should decrease prices while competition and free markets enhance quality and potency.
The taxation issue could be the most attractive aspect for lawmakers. With debts and deficits becoming larger concerns, it is likely many states will legalize for the boost in tax revenue. There have also been claims of legalization diminishing the income for drug cartels, gangs and organized criminal groups which could be a bonus on top of everything else.

maybe yes. because if it is legalized it wont be underground any more. so government will be able to take taxes from marijuana trades. however it is not something ethic when government take advantage of those kind of addictive things.

are you a smoker?seems like youre smoking alot this days lol,though some medical breakthrough says marijuana is medicinal and cure to some sickness,it doesnt mean it will be needed to legalized,and even if how much government wasting to fight this drugs still its better to fight for peoples benefits than doing nothing at allOr maybe you guys got another opinions??
April 24, 2018, 11:17:51 AM
Yes i think it is. Marijuana is a ain killer. Its a drug, a natural drug at that. The overuse of marijuana is the one that's need to be regulated. There is a need to control that in order to stop abuse and illegal usage. Only if you smoke too much weed can you make it really worth less than its supposed to be used. Openong its doors on its legalization will really bring the economy up.

I don't know where side to go a lot of news saying that marijuana is a bad influence such a drugs but there's a lot of people who's telling they got improve with their illness through the marijuana herbal if the government make it legalized they have to implement a heavy law to make the consumer safe
I think as long as it is used for medical purposes, it should be fine. But the government might be concerned about illegal use and if they fail to control it they make such laws.

Actually some country legalized marijuana, as a treatment or medicine prescribed by doctor,but in my own vision being a simple citizen in my own country,that this is illegal and probihited to use because its a kind of drugs that can destroy the mind of the young people and the whole human race ,and can increase the crime rates because of this effect of hallucination and destroy the sanctity of the humanity,thats why even its in U.S is talked about the legalization of this things because its gives the government an good tax money but in my own thought ,this is not worthy to be used as legal and become a medicine.

Looks like gentle gesture for calling off the healthy life! I mean come on we are talking about the drugs here and in what sense it could be good for the healthy economy. I dont even understand the topic, they do have legalisation of this drug weed? I mean there was time once when these things where so strict that feds would do anything to make such people barred behind the jail walls and now here is the time its legal one. Dont understand the logic behind that. It will be far chaotic now onwards as everyone will be marijuanating themselves. Lolz. It will become so common that there wont be much value for it.

cannabis legalization can increase state taxes to about US $ 9 billion. In addition, the state budget is also reduced, especially on law enforcement budget posts in the fight against illegal transactions of buying and selling marijuana. Broadly speaking, the legalization of marijuana can reduce budget spending and increase tax uptake to 0.5%

What is clear if marijuana to the legal right, because from the beginning it has been in the wrong use by some people, who actually only needed for medical purposes, ahirnya future will damage the younger generation of the nation.
whether for any reason without medical permission, remains untrue, although the funds gained are quite large from legalizing the marijuana.
