Legalize marijuana
Informed people of these United States believe that responsible adult recreational use of marijuana is a civil liberty, and because marijuana prohibition has failed the current laws against cannabis as similar to Prohibition of alcohol in the 1930’s.
We the People believe that;
Congress and the legislature must act to eliminate the danger to public safety posed by the enormous American black market.
Congress must not continue to ignore the law enforcement danger in the assertion of federal criminal laws that ill serve the public.
To end the death from this War, we must act to regulate, control and decriminalize most uses of marijuana.
End now the tremendous illogical drain upon society’s resources that is currently being expended in criminalizing the use of marijuana, having direct evidence that very little benefits from this Prohibition, are in fact, being achieved.
We must Act to;
Remove laws prohibiting marijuana production, distribution, and possession for persons over twenty-one; remove laws for criminal and civil penalties for activities that it authorizes; tax marijuana sales; and earmark marijuana-related revenues.
Remove laws and prohibitions against producing, processing, and selling marijuana, subject to licensing and regulation by health systems control board; allow possession of marijuana by persons aged twenty-one and over; and impose excise taxes on wholesale and retail sales of marijuana, earmarking revenue for purposes that include substance-abuse prevention, research, education, and healthcare.
