The Case for the Legalization of Marijuana

Or at least a succinct and short version of it. They didn’t really adequately address the key problem in my mind. Money. Most people seem to think there is a relationship between drugs and violent crime. I don’t agree. There is a relationship between money and violent crime. Because drugs are illegal, the trafficking of them generates a ton of money. Thus it generates crime.

Drugs are a medical issue, not a criminal one. At the current rate, I think we’ll get the mass of the population and the government to agree with that statement in about the year 2400.
