13. Everyone should agree

That ruining a person's life invading their homes with automatic weapons and putting peoole in danger for peacefully possessing a plant is not justice.

The prohibition black market only creates more crime and exposes people to hard drugs.

But everyone never agrees on anything. So we repress peoples rights if they dont agree with us? MJ doesnt have to be legal or illegal it is just a plant and like all other plants it should just be. And if a person is growing it and using it peacefully they should be left alone.

Now we should regulate the sale of it and that should be on a local level. It is bad economics to prohibit such a valuable commodity. It would put millions of people to work. Thousands of farmers thousands of store owners and staff. Then there is processing and packaging and theb of course the tax revenue. It is a violation of an indvudual's right to self determination and the right to prosper at one's pursuits.
