If we really want to improve the economy, lower addiction and crime we need to legalize marijuana. Legalizing marijuana nationwide would create at least $132 billion in tax revenue and more than a million new jobs across the United States in the next decade.
The Federal government of the US spends about $3.16 billion every year to enforce cannabis laws. If marijuana were removed from the list of controlled substances,fewer court cases, resulting in fewer incarcerations, and, in turn, more money saved.
States who already have legalized marijuana have received upwards of $1B in tax revenue, that was used to fix roadways, schools etc.. And addiction would decrease by over 20%. #LegalizeMarijuana
