Legalization of Marijuana

       Marijuana has been a big topic in debates whether it should stay illegal or become legalized. Marijuana should be legalized because it brings more pros then cons, such as, they government could greatly profit of this, safe use of the Marijuana and lastly legalization would reduce crime. First off, the government could profit off this like alcohol, when prohibition was in action all the money that was made exporting alcohol was being sent to the mobsters and criminals while the government got none of it. Same thing with Marijuana drug dealers are profiting greatly off selling weed to teens and the government isn't getting any money. Also, safe use of the drug would be that when teens purchase Marijuana from a drug dealer, the dealer could have laced it with another drug such as cocaine or heroin. So if the government sold clean weed it would prevent teens and adults from getting into other drugs. Lastly legalizing marijuana would reduce crime because a lot of people are in jail over drug possession and other things related to Marijuana, if legalized this would give police time to find other bigger dealers that sell cocaine or heroin instead of Marijuana. In conclusion Marijuana should be legalized because the government can make lots of money of it, safer use of the drug and it would reduce crime.
