like prisons for profit - c'mon really?
the destruction of families - prison sentences for drugs ruin lives
our budget, debt and deficit - less money out, more money in
foreign relations - we bully a lot of nations over this issue preventing their growth and development
The energy crisis - hemp oil can save the world.
It's medicinal benefits are documented too.

Legalizing drugs like cannabis turns a money pool controlled by cartels into jobs, taxes and a revenue stream that benefit all citizens.
