Ironically enough, I just did a speech on this sorta thing in college 2 semesters ago...
-- According to Time Magazine, no one have ever died of “marijuana poisoning, mostly because a 160 lb. person would have to smoke roughly 900 joints in a sitting to reach a lethal does.
-- According to Rolling Stone, when Obama was asked about the decriminalization of marijuana, he said “I would start with nonviolent, first time offenders. The notion that we are imposing felonies on them or sending them to prison instead of thinking about ways such as drug courts that can get them back on track in their lives – it's expensive, it's counterproductive, and it doesn't make sense.”
-- It is estimated that marijuana is the largest cash crop in California, with an annual revenue approaching $14 billion. With a 10% marijuana tax it would yield more than $1.4 billion in revenue a year. Not including the countless number of jobs that would become available.
I know my ****! :]
