Support a law protecting states' rights to legalize, regulate and tax marijuana like alcohol.

Prohibition has failed to control the use and domestic production of marijuana. The government has tried to use criminal penalties to prevent marijuana use for over 75 years and this has been very unproductive and costly,Law enforcement has more important responsibilities than arresting 750,000 individuals a year for marijuana possession, especially given the additional justice costs of disposing of each of these cases and yet: marijuana is now used by over 25 million people annually, cannabis is currently the largest cash crop in the United States.Legalized marijuana would reduce the flow of money from the American economy to international criminal gangs. Marijuana's illegality makes foreign cultivation and smuggling to the United States. It also has health benefits safer than alcohol
