SAVING TAXPAYERS
Florida drug laws make little sense. While marijuana is illegal, even
for people in serious pain, we are instead encouraged to get a
prescription for pills like OxyContin, Oxycodone or Valium, which are
20 times worse for you. Drug companies, doctors and pharmacies are
dispensing millions of doses of these highly addictive, often deadly
pills while non-violent taxpayers in victimless crimes are being
jailed for marijuana use.
Illegal marijuana creates crime because of its inflated value. Legal
marijuana would have almost no value, putting dealers out of business,
and U.S. taxpayers would save billions.
