The President Has a Growing Marijuana Problem

[SomethingFishy]

43. Thats because people are completely clueless about

what legalization would do. Let's look a little deeper than "there is no problem" shall we?

Jails. We spend well over a BILLION dollars a year housing marijuana offenders.
Law Enforcement. The War On Drugs is about a 70 billion dollar a year fiasco and the new NDAA adds even more money and military support to the WOD.
Court costs, judges, lawyers, juries, paperwork... Billions.
Stupidity. The DEA spent over 10 MILLION dollars to arrest, try and jail Tommy Chong for 9 months for selling bongs over the internet(And they had to entrap him to do it.) 10 million dollars well spent eh?

Now, JOBS! A new crop to farm and harvest, new products to produce and sell. Hemp is one of the toughest fibers in the world. Paper, food, fuel, clothing, rope, there is no down side to harvesting hemp and it's uses are almost limitless.
Medicine! People can get relief without the stigma of doing something "illegal".

And the kicker TAXES. Tens of billions a year in taxes and weed would still be cheaper than it is now. Not to mention the reduction in organized crime and how much that will save

We have a serious money problem. Legalization could bring in HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS A YEAR in savings, profits and taxes.

We may not be a majority, but we are right. It's foolish to deny the facts. Legalization could solve a ton of problems in one fell swoop. If we could just get that stick out of our collective ass.
