Marijuana could be a huge cash crop for this country in a recession, I believe that it could generate more revenue than the war against it could in fines. I am not opposed to the legalization of it but I do believe that there should be some regulations for it as well. Such as putting an age limit on it, and treating it like alcohol. I believe that it could work, we are losing the war against marijuana and we should decriminalize based on the facts provided above that we could have 12.5% of the prison population out and we are not paying for them to sleep, eat, and exercise. This is a huge topic in Criminal Justice and has a lot of supporters on both sides you know my position and I would like to hear what more of us have to say.<br /><br />Andrew Serenaaseren87https://www.blogger.com/profile/02599674385149527526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959803343678816550.post-55765320491563660542012-03-23T17:54:12.354-07:002012-03-23T17:54:12.354-07:00Legalization of marijuana is an extremely importan...Legalization of marijuana is an extremely important issue for future criminal justice professionals to address. I am with you in the fact that I was opposed to the legalizing it. However, I understand where you are coming from with potentially concerns of overbearing the criminal justice system for a debated issue. Although, the drug itself is deemed to be "okay" or "socially acceptable" the criminality associated with it is not. Likewise, the criminality associated with manufacturing, buying, and selling marijuana will not be "okay" or "socially acceptabe." There are far more problems with the legalization of marijuana; however, I still feel that it is not worth legalizing the drug for any purpose.Aaron Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04117679854065798521noreply@blogger.com
