    Alain Joffe explains that there are some marijuana advocates that believe marijuana is safer than alcohol. Similarly, they also believe that if marijuana becomes legalized, shifting consumption from alcohol to marijuana may have a positive effect on society. While there are no studies that support this theory, there are studies that debate the contrary. These studies conclude that the two drugs are “economic complements” and both alcohol and marijuana use would increase reciprocally (Joffe, 2004).…

    The impact the legalization of marijuana would have on our economy would be both instant and significant. Marijuana is one of the most versatile crops on the planet, having the potential to be made into over 25,000 products (NAIHC). In many cases, the products made from marijuana are actually a better substitute for certain items, such as paper. The paper made from marijuana is more biodegradable and its harvest would have less of an environmental impact than the continuous harvesting of our trees (NAIHC). Innovations such as these lead us to increased opportunities in…

    Drugs have become one of the most controversial topics in the world. Some specific drugs are more frowned upon such as Marijuana. Marijuana is a plant in which its official name is “Cannabis”. Over the years this plant has become increasingly popular to people who don’t usually convert to traditional methods to relieve the stress of a hard day. “The National Drug Threat Assessment states that over 25.8 million individuals 12 years of age and older have smoked marijuana at least once in their life.” The rate has remained the same since 2008. The government labels these statistics as too high as they fight to keep one of the most contentious substances off the market. In 1970, Congress passed The Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act .…

    Marijuana is safer than many legal drugs and was outlawed on the basis of false, unscientific claims. The incredible advantages associated with its legalisation (in terms of taxation, regulation and weakening the black market) cannot be overlooked by false ideas and a system of prohibition that does not…

    Marijuana is a very prominent and controversial issue in society today. Although many slanderous claims have been made about cannabis in recent history, the truths are slowly starting to resurface. Unfortunately, these truths are under heavy criticism due to the stereotypical view of what people view as the typical “pot smoker.” This skewed perception of a lazy and unmotivated American is the result of over seventy years of propaganda and misinformation spread by private interests who relied on illegal cannabis illegal from their own personal gains. As a marijuana consumer and a current medical marijuana patient, I strongly believe that marijuana should be legalized for all users. Currently in the United States today, marijuana is prohibited by federal law and has been a topic of controversial debate since the start of the prohibition. There are several, important reasons for the legalization of marijuana, including research concerning these issues are beneficial in understanding both sides of the debate. The result of abolishing our country’s marijuana prohibition by supporting legalization will stimulate the economy, to show the medical properties, and lower the crime rate.…

    With the legalization of marijuana a whole new array of possibilities opens up. The government can increase tax revenue by putting a sales tax on marijuana. By increasing taxes on legal marijuana we can boost and stimulate the economy. Studies have shown that illegal drug traffic adds up to approximately $100 billion dollars a year. With governments scrambling to find new sources of revenue to pay for important social objectives such as health care and education the legalization and taxation of marijuana can drastically help. It is shown that by legalizing marijuana the government expenditures would dramatically decrease. The savings would involve reductions in police expenditures, in prosecutorial and judicial expenditures, and in jail and prison expenditures. All of these events can be obtained with the legalization of marijuana.…
