American voters want marijuana legalized. Marijuana is no worse than alcohol and is likely a safer and healthier alternative for the individual user and public at large.
Marijuana prohibition enforcement costs U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars each year. Federal regulation will produce billions of dollars in annual revenue and create jobs.
American citizens should no longer be arrested for noncriminal behavior. Federal regulation will combat discrimination by stopping the racial biased arrests and prosecutions of minorities. Medical patients should have the option of choosing safer and less expensive prescriptions.
Minors should be protected from the "gateway effect" because drug dealers often sell more than marijuana and do not ask for IDs.
Please enact HR 2306.
