Legalize Cannabis to promote economic growth, use it medically, and keep minor drug offenders out of prison

Cannabis is non lethal. No studies have proven that it has extreme adverse effects as opposed to more lethal controlled substances such as Opioids, Cocaine, and Meth Amphetamine. Its association with harsher substances stops most from considering its medicinal benefits as well as the economic growth that would quickly erupt. Hemp is a versatile material and can be used for cloth and paper. Many minor drug offenders are in prison on account of Cannabis. Legalization will save tax dollars used on keeping them there. A very large demand for recreational use also fuels the amount of jobs created on account of the new businesses being established nearly overnight as well as the large agricultural industry that will feed the growing demand. The pros greatly outweigh the cons.
