National Government
After reading this article (and before reading it), I agree with you that marijuana should be legalized. You make a good point, America is known for the highest rates of incarceration out of any country. If we decriminalized the use of marijuana and put a tax on it, we could help with the countries climbing debt, and take care of our inmate overpopulation. As long as most careers require drug testing I don't believe marijuana usage will rise to an all time high. I believe if we changed the laws against marijuana distribution, those who are buying from dealers (who buy from dealers, who buy from cartel members) will instead buy from stores, who will buy from local growers. I think that by converting it into a nationally taxed crop we will ultimately be fighting the war on drugs, and putting those risky drug operations out of business.
