The constitution

• We already have a multitude of prescription drugs that are abused, we don’t need another class of drugs that need to be legalized

• People abuse so-called legal painkillers such as oxycodone, vicodin, percocet, etc. Why should we legalize something that could cause such a huge dependency?

• Dependence article

• We may have a multitude of prescription pills and drugs but cannabis is safer then alcohol or prescription drugs u cant overdose or die from it.

• The taxes that would be raised would only support those who would be in rehab or to house those who commit violent crimes to get money

• Safer doesn’t mean safe article

• Like the 18th Amendment on prohibition on alcohol is much like the marijuana prohibition people still use is but the government didn’t get the money from It.

• If it is legalized the tax money just might help us out of nations debt.
