Just Another Reason We Need To Legalize It

I’m not going to bore you at the moment with all of the other reasons that marijuana should be legalized, I think that most people believe that anyway. But here is another perfect example of the drug war having adverse effects on the lives of everyone in this country, and it isn’t going away. Grow operations on public land all over the country are completely unregulated, and in turn growers are using rat poison, other illegal chemicals, and poaching to make sure that their harvests yield the highest possible amount of marijuana.

The drug cartels that illegally grow aren’t going anywhere in the current situation. They will continue to find new locations to poison our environment to get their precious harvest. If we would just take a minute and think about this, it could all easily be avoided if the government opened marijuana and hemp up as a cash crop, tax it, and make sure that growers are not adversely effecting our environment and public health.

Pollution by these cartels is running rampant, and the only cleanup efforts are led by volunteers who want to save the environment. It just seems to me that we could be saving tons of money, as well as making tons of money on Marijuana, being that it is already one of the top cash crops in the country, and completely unregulated and untaxed.

Does the US government truly believe that this is the best way to go about eradicating a relatively non-harmful plant? Do they really believe that they can put a stop to the Marijuana Revolution?

Something needs to be done about all of the problems being created by the ludicrous War on Drugs, especially Marijuana. We need to take the power away from these violent and completely unethical drug cartels, and do it the right way, the American way.
