In addition, Anderson & Rees (2013) described how the legalization of marijuana would produce more individual using this substance; however, would result in a vast decrease in alcohol consumption and as a result, less violent crimes.

This information solidifies the notion that the legalization of marijuana will not create a negative impact on the prevalence of violent crimes; instead, will produce greater benefits as individuals will reduce their alcohol consumption, thus decreasing the violent tendencies correlated to alcohol…
Stimson strongly disagrees with the above-mentioned statements about the possible incentives gained from legalizing Marijuana and its possible benefits with the legal system. In his legal memorandum entitled “Legalizing Marijuana: Why Citizens Should Just Say No,” he states that marijuana trafficking is linked to a variety of crimes, from assault and murder to money laundering and smuggling. Legalization of marijuana would increase demand for the drug and almost certainly exacerbate drug-related crime, as well as cause a myriad of unintended but predictable consequences (5). Though there is no guarantee, or even possibility, that Stimson is correct, and I whole-heartedly believe that the legalization of Marijuana will undoubtedly have a positive effect in lowering crime and keeping good people out of…

I am going to show that the taxpayers are forced to pay billions of dollars to prosecute, and incarcerate people for having marijuana. If marijuana were legal and regulated (like alcohol and tobacco) this money, plus tax revenues from marijuana sales could be used for other purposes such as education and health care.…
It is very important to understand the effect of cannabis (marijuana) and its history. Forty-three million American use drugs regularly, despite the federal government efforts to enforce the law, destroy illegal crops, seize illegal drugs, make arrests, and educate people about the harmful effect of the drugs. Many people feel that crime would be reduced if drugs were legalized. A conversation of how legalization might affect crime is followed by a look at the over-burdened criminal and judicial systems charged with enforcing the law in the face of overwhelming drug-related criminal activity.…

Legalization of Marijuana has been a major concern to the society as people argue that it increases the rates of DUI crime. However, this is a mare assumption that lacks substantial prove.

Also, abusing of the drug among high school learners has not increased in these countries. Legalizing Marijuana facilitates the government…
