Why has nothing been done to legalize marijuana? If we would legalize and tax marijuana Americans would pay hundreds of millions of dollars every year. By allowing farmers to grow Hemp there would be another source for food, clothing, fuel, paper and building materials. What is your reasoning for keeping a major cash crop illegal?

A lot of us have seen firsthand, or at least secondarily, the destruction of a community caused by drugs. And you might say that marijuana’s an exception to all those other drugs, but most of us aren’t thoroughly convinced of that. We’ve seen instances personally, as well as every study has shown that it can be a gateway drug. And while you may sit there and say ‘jeeze, well it’s similar to alcohol,’ the reality is that it can lead to more destructive drugs. And once you start down legalizing marijuana, then how about cocaine?
