Is now the time to fully legalize Marijuana? By: Dean Kanganis
Quick Background • It’s a plant. • Has been here since day 1. • Desired chemical is THC. • It is inhaled, or eaten in a gourmet way. • Marijuana has never killed anybody. • Free Revenue for the Government. • Used Medically Worldwide.
Economy Benefits • http://www.usdebtclock.org/ • 80 Billion dollar swing. • Legalize it, treat it the same way as Alcohol and tax it. • 40,000$ a year to keep someone in prison and 97.5 people arrested every hour.
Argumentative Statistics • Roughly 75,000 die from Alcohol Abuse a yr. • Roughly 10,000 die from Drunk driving. • 450 Tylenol deaths a year. • Average Length Marijuana inmate – 2 years. • 1 billion $ a year to keep these people in jail. • Over 850,000 people arrested last year. • Latest poll – 50% of Americans. Highest Ever. • Did I mention the government uses it for medical purposes? ----Oh….Okay.
Conclusion Not one recorded incident of anyone ever developing cancer from purely smoking marijuana. If it’s available now, and will be here forever, wouldn’t it just be smart to profit money off of it, use our police force in different ways, and possibly have some fun?
