Marijuana is serving so many purposes should it be sold like cigarettes
Around half or even more number of adults currently present in the United States of America or 128 million individuals have tried marijuana in one form or another, Per year around six hundred thousands of Americans are put into jails due to marijuana possession. All this information has been the basic building block for the support of legalization of marijuana. Furthermore, the support for legalization of marijuana even increased till sixty six percent from twelve percent. These are some of the reasons why it is important for the government in the United States of America to go ahead and legalize marijuana.
Taking the case of Canada, which has also just recently legalized the recreational use of marijuana. The country is using this to give pardons to people who had been arrested on possession of small amounts of marijuana (Gonchar, 2019). This way they are solving their jail overcrowding problem and are further making the system towards monitoring of marijuana use more transparent. Furthermore, by legalizing marijuana they are also able to monitor that harmful content that is most black market marijuana. Most of the government store bough marijuana is devoid of any harmful contaminants. This way they are also securing the health of their countrymen as well.
Furthermore, health wise marijuana is as harmful to the health of an individual just as alcohol or tobacco are and both of these substance are legalized. It is also very beneficial for people suffering with many illnesses such as glaucoma, Aids and cancer. Legalizing marijuana could also be another way of controlling crime both within and outside or at the borders of the United States of America as it would impede any selling or buying of marijuana illegally (Hurd, 2017). It is also one of the most top selling agricultural product of the USA economy. Additionally, the billions spent yearly by the government in order to fight drugs is being questioned.
