The legalization of the production, sale, and use of marijuana. Legalizing cannabis can greatly benefit the US.

Created by S.B. on July 25, 2015

Since its prohibition in the 1930s, 23 states have legalized medicinal marijuana, and 4 have legalized marijuana for recreational use.
The legalization of cannabis can be greatly beneficial. Statistics from states where it is legal have already proved this. The state of Colorado created $6.17 million in tax revenue in the first 2 months of marijuana legalization. Since then, $40 million from the same tax has gone to creating and improving schools.
In addition to helping the education system, the marijuana industry has created nearly 10,000 jobs in that state, which strengthened our economy. Another economic benefit of legalization would be the $17.4 billion saved from not needing to enforce its illegal status.
Marijuana should be legal, in my opinion, and if you agree, please sign this.
