DECRIMINALIZE MARIJUANA
Stricter prohibition and heavier penalties only generate massive illegal
profit for criminals, who are willing to take great risks to make that
bundle of tax-free cash.
Marijuana cultivation is extremely profitable under the tough drug laws we
have now.
If marijuana were as common as peanuts or daisies, there would be no
incentive for organized crime to grow and distribute it for profit.
Legalizing and regulating marijuana will eliminate the problems associated
with organized crime
