LEGALIZE MARIJUANA TO END RECESSION

Win and end the war on drugs! Make drug usage a public health issue.
Legalize pot, decriminalize the rest. Quit putting people in prison
and by legalizing pot and decriminalizing other drugs you put the
drug cartels out of business or they become legit and pay taxes, a
large portion of which would go to treatment for drug and alcohol
abusers.

The tax revenue from users and producers would be a huge boon for the
U.S. economy and we might get out of this financial crisis. This
would drastically cut the prison population. Out-of-work guards, etc.
could be retrained and work in the drug abuse field. One of the
biggest obstacles to this approach would be the beer and liquor
companies who do not want to compete with pot that we could grow in
our backyards.

Drug war won and recession solved!
