Here we are, the good old USA! For the people right? Then why are some of our people so blind? Ignorance would be my first guess. We have a health care system that fails us every year. We have unemployment rates that our higher than they should ever be. Our education system is down in the dumps, children are starving in our own country. Not to mention we have a drug war going on and Seattle is letting Heroin addicts know it's okay to shoot up because Seattle has safe injection houses where they can be monitored by a nurse so they do not overdose when shooting up. How many other economical issues do we have that we could sum together and fix? Too many and we could fix it tomorrow if we would just take that step and legalize cannabis.

Colorado brought in over $150 million in taxes in 2016. Washington alone has over a BILLION in sales. Bringing in over $200 million in taxes to their state. Oregon is at $54 million in taxes just for the 2016 fiscal year. That is just three states. If we had recreationally marijuana use legal for all 50 states I am 100% positive the US would be debt free and standing high. 50 states who brought it at minimum $45 million in taxes would be a total of $2.25 billion in total taxes for the United states just off from cannabis alone. You would have to think that number is certain to rise if it were legal. People who are in hiding buying off the streets would no longer hide. They would make their purchases legally at the store. I wouldn't be surprised if the amount paid into taxes tripled if not more.
