Consider the Legalization of Marijuana, and the Taxation benefits the Industry would bring to the State of Wisconsin

Created by R.K. on January 15, 2013

I simply wish the Government would consider legalization of marijuana in Wisconsin, as well as other states. It has been legalized in Colorado, as well as Washington, with no prominent disadvantages shown thus far. I believe that the ability to tax this crop could be a major asset to the current budget problems we are facing currently. The taxation rate could be as high as any currently applied to tobacco or alcohol, and the product has far fewer health risks. If it has been successful in these previous two states, why not spread the legalization nation wide? After all, we are supposed to be one single nation, not divided state by state.
