Marijuana issue

I agree with Ivan Buckley and his article Pass the Weed. Even thought I am a nonsmoker at all, I strongly believe people should have a legal right to use it.  Marijuana is a very well-known controversial issue in society today and as Ivan said, “the issue of marijuana is one that will never end, also going to be something that stays on this earth forever.” I totally agree with that statement, there is no way marijuana will be stop distributed and be accessible. The only way to control the effect is legalization. Unlikely, this is under heavy criticism due to the stereotypical view.

Also I support Ivan’s opinion that legalizing weed has to be regulated for the tax purposes. If marijuana were legalized, it would bring huge amount of dollars cast to the federal government. Tax revenue generated from marijuana selling would be up to 2-6 billions of $$. As well as it would decrease tax money blown on  law enforcement, court systems and prison expanses for the drug related crime produced by marijuana being illegal.

Author of the article mentioned weed’s medical benefits which is not recent discovery. Some medical literature recommend it’s usage for many different diseases. It includes pain relief, nausea, glaucoma, and movement disability. Today, marijuana already helped to thousands of patients for their sicknesses. This treatment is allowed in twenty states that confess cannabis’ healing properties and legalized its consumption for medical purposes. The map below show states permitting marijuana use for medical and recreational targets.
