Its about time...

...that we regulate the distribution of marijuana. Everyone by now has heard of its beneficial properties for those with chronic pain or nausea, and possibly in treating anxiety and depression. But as a disabled person who needs it to deal with chronic pain for a back injury, the difficulty I face in precuring it is stressful at times. It was recently legalized for medicinal use in a conservative state like Michigan, its about time the rest of the country follow suit. Who gets hurt by me smoking marijuana? No one. Why not let the state reap the tax benefits? 15,000,000 people in america smoke marijuana once a month or more. On an ounce of weed, which would last you a year or more if you smoked once a week, the taxes would be about 8 dollars. Times that by 15,000,000. Yeah, thats right.
