Legal marijuana is PERMANENT economic stimulus.

Nationwide legal marijuana will create millions of jobs.

Federally tax it and it will create a tax base of its own. It will generate billions of dollars of revenue for the treasury. It could be used in part to pay down the debt and deficits. Part of it could be used to fund nationwide infrastructure projects.

Legal pot can be a revenue source that funds other revenue generating sources. The economic activity and growth generated by a massive national infrastructure re-building project would be a massive shot in the arm of our national economy but also a major revenue generator.

Legal pot can have that kind of positive domino effect. It can stimulate the economy in a positive ripple that creates opportunity all throughout our economy.

Legal pot can create economic growth in so many ways.

Legal pot is also very popular in polling nowadays.

It's time Democrats. Score major points with swing voters that we need in order to win elections by pushing to legalize pot. Rescue the economy in the process.
The people will love you for it.

States like OH and IN are seeing the tax revenue head into MI.

I suspect OH will soon legalize, but in the meantime thanks for all the tax revenue OH, IN and WI.
