It requires a lot of money to prevent the unlawful activities in any country. And when these illicit activities are related to the dealing in drugs, the task becomes even more expensive and difficult. No matter how secure are the safety arrangements of any country but the drug mafias somehow take out the ways to induce drug dealing in any country. Various countries like United States of America spend big amounts to deal with such illegal activities. But when we talk about Marijuana drug dealing, the fact of expense does not sound justified. The great reason is that marijuana is not more harmful then tobacco or even alcohol. Apart from this, another fact related to the medicinal uses of marijuana puts this drug into a category of therapeutic drug. That is why legalizing marijuana can be a beneficial act.
In this article, I am just discussing marijuana as a great source of revenue. The other aspects of Legalizing Marijuana have been discussed many times but I think that the point of revenue should be discussed in detail. Just imagine things that will change after legalizing marijuana. The government will be able to put heavy tax on the sale of this drug. There is full scope for the wide sales of marijuana. Taking a state like California into consideration, the sale of marijuana is sure to win huge revenue. According to an estimate, legalizing marijuana can generate revenues that will be just double of the sales of milk and cream. Milk and cream is the second biggest product of agriculture in USA.
According to another estimate, one billion dollars can be saved on arrest, imprisonment and prosecution of marijuana supply and distribution. The same amount can be used for any other important work related to the safety and security of States. Though, the negatives associated with the legalizing of marijuana cannot be ignored but we need to find out some way which protects us from the adverse effects and provides us the benefits of marijuana.
