Did you know there are people currently serving life sentences in prison with no parole for non-violent marijuana offenses? Drug Prohibition has economic, moral and practical side effects so destructive legal institutions should never be used in such a manner.
According to the 2010 CATO Institute report “The Budgetary Impact of Ending Drug Prohibition”, legalizing drugs would save roughly $41.3 billion per year in government spending on enforcement of prohibition. The report also estimates drug legalization would yield tax revenue of $46.7 billion.
