Legalize marijuana distribution to ALL American citizens, over the age of 21, in an attempt to erase the national debt.

Created by A.W. on January 16, 2013

Marijuana should be legal for recreational purposes for American citizens age 21 and over. My proposed method to erase the national debt is to tax marijuana, By selling the drug from Government sanctioned shops, we can control how much is sold to each person. For example, 2 grams per week, but we can tax it to the point where it is 3 times the cost of buying it illegally, (2 grams of marijuana is $10 street price). So now 2 grams of marijuana costs $30, with most of that money going to the national debt, we can very quickly reduce the national debt. There are over 300 million people in the US, if only 1 person out of 30 use marijuana weekly, then we stand to gain 10 million dollars per week. Eliminating the deficit in a few short years. I would also like to add, I DO NOT USE MARIJUANA.
