What Do You Think

About Recreational Marijuana

And The

Medical Marijuana Vote

Should Recreational Marijuana

Be Legalized?

And What About Your

Medical Marijuana Vote???

Public opinion in the United States and

several countries in Europe and Latin

America are grappling with this

controversial issue.

Medical marijuana is a growing industry,

more and more people are hearing about

this marijuana vote that has been

sweeping our nation.

Medical marijuana bills have legally been

adopted in numerous states and even

federal government in the District of

Columbia and, as most know, Colorado

and Washington have fully legalized

marijuana for recreational use by adults.

“This is really grounding breaking,”

said Beau Kilmer, co-director of the

Rand Drug Research Policy Center.

“No modern jurisdiction has ever

removed the prohibition on the

production and possession of marijuana

for recreational purposes…since no one

has done this before, there are a lot of

uncertainties.”

There are several opinions against

marijuana use in general and on the

opposite side you will hear of positive

arguments about the usage of marijuana.

A good example is to take a look back at

our own history (we’ve all heard history

repeats itself) and look at the prohibition

of alcohol.

Alcohol was considered evil, the

government made it illegal and that was

what provided the foundation for the mob

to make millions of tax free money.

Or that by having a vote to legalize

marijuana would increase tax revenues

for the government and to not make it as

profitable on the black market to

discourage where most of marijuana is

sold today.

You might have heard of the recent

actions of Congress Representatives

Blumenauer and Polis released a report

outlining the need for federal marijuana

law reform, titled “The Path Forward:

Rethinking Federal Marijuana Policy.”

An effort is building in Congress to

make a marijuana vote that would

change United States’ laws, including

moves to legalize the production of

industrial hemp and create a federal tax.

It introduces federal measures to legalize

cannabis that would allow states and

voters to decide if they will regulate

marijuana in a manner similar to alcohol.

Ending marijuana prohibition by

regulating it like alcohol is said that it

will generate tens of millions of

dollars in tax revenue for state and

local governments in this growing

industry.

Allen St. Pierre, executive director of

NORML, a national group that

lobbies for legalization, said he has

heard from friends and family

already planning trips to Colorado for

the “cannabis tourism” that will

certainly become popular.

It is necessary to consider

how marijuana and

medical marijuana

legalization is creating a

totally unique industry in

the United States and how

it will impact parents,

heavy users, medical

users, employers, state and

local economies, and even

the drug traffickers.
