Illegal and legal drugs have affected millions of life’s and families all over the world but with in this global conflict the government is really doing more hurt then help. Think about this California makes $14 billion a year in taxes from growth and medicinal use of marijuana this is their number one cash crop. So why isn’t every nation boosting their economy like this? They are spending more money to try and keep it out then they would make. The government lets cops bust open doors break down walls shatter windows flip tables bed ect. And take down and handcuff any one in the presents of a gram or more of marijuana medicinal or not. This plant has been in mankind since the start. Hemp the natural plant that marijuana buds from makes stronger thread for cloths and more durable paper also, burns slower then wood but the lumber companies wouldn’t want this to get out. Smoking marijuana pot is about as dangerous for a fit person as exercise. 400,000 people die yearly from tobacco products and 100,000 die from alcohol a year. No one in history has died from over dose of THC the chemical in marijuana that gives the high

Legalization of drugs would take criminals and hard drugs off the corner so that our children of the world couldn’t obtain and get hooked at such a young age. Marijuana is so embraced in the media that more and more people are accepting it as normal or acceptable. Marijuana use helps many factors including stress, depression and social pressure. Some clams state that the so-called drug is harmless and even beneficial in many ways. Some people use it to gain insight or creativity that enhances many sensual experiences. If they were finally off 10 would divide the street price. Before the drug probations 2.2 pounds of cocaine was $45,000 and only 25% pure grain now it would cost less the $15,000 and 65% pure its stronger and not as rare as it was 30 years ago this is both beneficial but also quite dangerous that these drugs are not watched and people could be roaming around with it freely. Of it was sincerer and taxed more money for the government less taxes for us and violence would drop because gang bangers would not have the dough to buy weapons and start a drug war when you can get them at the local pharmacy, with the right doctors note of course. In training for drug enforcement cops they are thought to believe that drug users are the worst people in society, bottom of the social class when really having that mind set of any one is really closed minded and ignorant. Despite the billions of dollars spent on the fight of drug prohibition by the government in the last 40 years, the l.e.a.p organization (law enforcement againced prohibition) that now has over 3,000 members consisting of ranked poilecemen prision gaurds, judges, drug inforcment administratiors and prosicuters with in 48 states and 45 other countries point out that the drug was has failed on every one of its goals. This includes the DARE attempt to educate school kids, but lacks full success it didn’t stop Bush, Clinton or Gore from blazing up as kids and probably never stopped any body from trying alcohol or other drugs.
