Cannabis annually takes zero lives, yet it imprisons a person every 42 seconds. It's just senseless to put harmless people behind bars for smoking a harmless flower. The state can save tax payers money and raise more money from taxes from cannabis. Also South Carolina can take power out of the black market and street gangs and put it in to the schools and health care. Why stop there? hemp as a lot of uses that can, not only lower costs, but also make more profits. The only reason why it's not already legal is because of fear, but there's nothing to be scared of. Weed slows the growth of cancer cells, most of the time it kills cancer cells. The only down side is that the user eats more junk food, but with a super health care system that wouldn't be a huge health risk.
