While reading through Robert Evans blog, “A Sticky situation”, I realize the importance of legalizing marijuana in Texas. Evan gives many opinionated view points on why Marijuana would benefit Texas. Evan questions whether it is fair that Marijuana should not be allowed in the freedom of your own home. I completely agree with his questioning concern because if Texans have the right to shoot someone in their own home they should have the right to smoke a little marijuana.
Evans also informs us that Texans would bring in a whole lot of money legalizing marijuana. Evans makes an excellent point because the government isn't legalizing marijuana, yet would love so much more to have extra money in his pocket. Another point that Evans puts out there is that This would help put a huge stop to the overload of marijuana being smuggled in by Mexico. This would be just one more thing to add on to the list of saving money.
The last point Evans makes is that Marijuana is safer than alcohol, yet alcohol is legalized and marijuana isn’t. I don't understand why Texas thinks this is okay? Alcohol has many harmful effects and risks peoples lives every day where marijuana has no bad outcomes from it. Overall Evans made very good view points and I completely agree with his opinions.
i am in complete agreeance in the decision to legalize marijuana. When marijuana was first legalized for recreational use in Colorado it was said that Recreational Dispensaries were estimated to ring up a whopping 925 million in sales and 51 million in tax revenue. With that much money texas could much more money invested into its
ReplyDeleteOh so proud repuation of having the highest number of exacutions.
But not only is marijuana economically better to legalize but it seems much the upcoming generations have a different view then their elder counterparts. With a current increase in the amount of people who are leaning to legalizing marijuana. A new survey finds that 53% favor the legal use of marijuana, while 44% are opposed. As recently as 2006, just 32% supported marijuana legalization, while nearly twice as many (60%) were opposed.
