Economic outlook gloomy? Tax revenue low? Population unhappy? Legalise marijuana
Alcohol is legal & causes huge health, social & economic problems, but you make millions in taxes. Tobacco is legal & causes huge health, social & economic problems, but you make millions in taxes. Restricted drugs are illegal & cause huge health, social & economic problems, AND YOU COLLECT NOTHING!
You can reduce unnecessarily high criminality, prosecutions, & prison populations. You can dive & swim around like Scrooge McDuck in a bonanza of vastly increased tax revenue & wider economic benefits. You can offer honest, professional & well funded education & health services to educate & improve people's lives in a exponential array of directions. You can fully engage with a huge portion of your potential electorate who currently do not vote because your antique policies criminalise them. FYI
