Cons - Gateway theory : leads to more extreme drugs aka crack and shit


Pros - Tax that shit : new government revenue will bring in billions annually
Saves Government money: government spends around 1-200 million annual fighting marijuana
This could create a whole knew legit industry for BC.. (jobs for a lot of people)

Btw just to give u an idea of how dangerous marijuana compared to other legal things ( rated on how many people it kills annually )
#1 -Tobacco
#2 - Alcohol
#3 - Caffeine
#4 -Pain killers
#5 - Marijuana ( Actually there isnt a single case ever recorded that marijuana was the cause of death. AKA Marijuan annual deaths 0 )



I actually did a research project on this last semster and found through questionaire of 100 people sample.
That A) 80% of them didnt know the effects of marijuana B) Over 60% of them though Marijuana was #1 killer
C) They didnt expect the trade to be able to generate that much revenue, nor did they expect the amount of money put into the police to try stop marijuana ..



BTW - Iv only smoked twice in my entire life, so im not a super pot head..
O and just to add the addiction level of marijuana is a 1 on a 5 scale... (crack is like 4 or seomthing, CAFFEINE is a 2 or 3..)
Also even if you are addicted to marijuana it only shows small less serious signs of withdraw which last for 1-3days..( unlike crack or herione )
