It's time to tax, legalize marijuana
When will the issue of marijuana legalization be taken seriously? We've spent billions on a drug war that can't be won against our own citizens that are consuming mass amounts of drugs in the first place. Marijuana use has not gone down, teenagers are using more of it, and the availability of this herb is even higher in the states than it has ever been before.
The idea of legalization and taxation couldn't have come at a better time, a time when the United States government is in serious financial trouble. So where's the logic here?
Wouldn't it be smarter to legalize, control, and then tax the only drug that's never killed anyone?
