Legalising would be good for our economy at any time. It should have already happened years ago.. This "War on Drugs" is half the reason our economy sucks anyway..
filling up our jails with non-violent criminals is just pointless.. especially when its for possession.. fine you get caught trafficking then you go in.. but a fucking gram?
Marijuana has countless uses.. its medicinal, it helps many diseases, you can extract cannibiniolic acid which is a powerful disinfectant, you can turn it into biomass fuel which can be made into charcoal, methanol, methane or gasoline, Marijuana is mucn easier to grow than most crops, you wouldnt have to cut down forests for paper, you can make much stronger fibers, ANNND itll get you high.. what more could you ask for?
