      Marijuana is one of the biggest cash crops in the US. By legalizing the herb the government will make billions of dollars. Marijuana is not a drug it is simply a plant. It gives you more of a consciousness and helps you meditate. No one has ever died or overdosed from marijuana. Alcohol and precription drugs kill millions of people each year. Also we are spending millions of dollars on searching and prosecuting peaceful people with marijuana. The government is throwing young people in jail just for smoking marijuana. Instead we need to legalize it and use the billions of dollars to build more schools and promote education to help young people be successful instead of ruining their lives just over possession of a plant. This will also cut down violence because it takes drug dealers out of there business. People say that marijuana is bad and it creates violence. The only reason people are shooting each other over marijuana is because it's illegal. If you legalize the herb no one will be hurting each other over it anymore. The government will soon wake up from it's sleepless slumber and do the right thing. Please people help spread the word so that the government will finally realize that legalizing marijuana is the right solution. The government is being so corrupt by not giving the people what they want. The majority of the people upon the earth want the herb and it is but the few who want it outlawed. And the few just happen to be the people in the government who just want control over everyone.
