The researcher sought to ascertain different scenarios that have elucidated the need to legalize marijuana in New Mexico. In as much as many people are recognizing the drug as illegal, legalizing it will be of great help by bringing in a number of advantages mainly in the form of added revenue to our state through the taxation of marijuana and saving money by reducing the resources required to maintain the prohibition on this relatively safe drug. Much as Marijuana is thought to have numerous side-effects to the user, a core reason as to why its usage is shunned in many states, there are a number of reasons as to why it should be considered for legalization.
