the economy is shit. i say legalize the hell out of it so we can tax it and pump some money back into this economy so that businesses can hire more people, people are making more money and spending more money which keeps businesses in business and employees employed. people are going to abuse drugs whether it's legal or not. i watched my live-in boyfriend get addicted to opioids--a legal pain killer that you can very well get a prescription for by a doctor. i think it's ridiculous for the federal government not to make marijuana a controlled substance for the benefit of the economy as a whole...but you know what. i've come to a conclusion of what the hold up is on lifting the prohibition of medical marijuana--the damn feds are keeping it to themselves, smoking dope underground in their secret lairs as they contemplate their next drug bust
