Should the government legalize marijuana?
The Drug War is the most spectacular failure in American History. Just legalizing all drugs, without even taxing them, would stop a massive big government intervention in our bodies. But if you want a more moderate answer: As long as alcohol and cigarettes are on the shelves, causing cancer and cirrhosis, I can’t see the harm in a plant that makes you relaxed and then hungry. the market for hemp alone could create millions of jobs because it can be made into just about anything – clothes, paper, hell, even fuel. But it doesn’t even have psychoactive effects, it’s just guilty by association. So yeah, to remove all federal penalties on pot would be a positive thing. Polls have shown that Americans favor decriminalization/legalization. We’re a democracy, let’s act like one.
