Benefits Of Legalizing Marijuana

The legalization of marijuana is a very debatable subject, some people think it is bad and should be illegal, and some people think it is good in some ways if used properly.

This is a simple principle of supply and demand we can attach to the idea of weed legalization (Pic. 1). We saw a huge increase in supply during the first year or so in Colorado due to it becoming a major commodity according to Julie Verhage of Bloomberg (2015). When the market opened up for serious business to jump in on the already high demand the market exploded and prices plummeted on driving demand

Medical marijuana should be legal nation-wide; it has way too many benefits for it to not be used as natural cure, for a number of medical conditions.

Up until 1937, marijuana was legal in the United States for all uses recreational or medical. Medical marijuana is a safe and effective treatment for the symptoms of cancer, AIDS, glaucoma, and other conditions.

America needs to focus on “National Criminal Law Reform.” the criminal justice system, from policing to sentencing, needs to end exceptionally harsh criminal justice policies that result in mass incarceration, racial injustice, over-criminalization that stands in the way of a just and fair, equal social order.

Along with the ensured economic propsperity that follows the government's control of a growing and successful industry through the addition of taxes and such, the legalization of marijuana can also bring certain social benefits. It becomes difficult to determine how to regulate the utilization of marijuana nationwide, not just statewide, but the social benefits come naturally with its legalization.
