Would the Legalization of Marijuana Benefit the Economy?
One of the hot topics of today is the legalization of marijuana. Some states have approved medical marijuana use. While I do not care for the substance, I believe that marijuana should be legal to purchase and use for recreational purposes. The sale of cannabis would benefit the state financially and put illegal dealers out of business.
The state economy would benefit from the sale of marijuana. The state of Colorado issued amendment 64 in 2012 which allowed of the sale of marijuana for recreational use. In January 2015 the state of Colorado made 44 million dollars in tax revenue from the sale of retail marijuana (“Colorado”). The county of Denver, Colorado made 2 million dollars in tax revenue in January 2015 from the sale of retail marijuana (“Colorado”). The numbers alone speak in volumes of the possibilities if marijuana were to be legalized locally. This would mean more money for schools and projects.

More job opportunities would become available. The marijuana would need to be grown, processed, and packaged for sale. There would be opportunities for businesses focusing mainly on the sale of cannabis and the ways in which it can be processed into different products such as food, clothing, and paper.
By legalizing marijuana this would relieve law enforcement for the misdemeanor charges of possession.

This would free law enforcement to deal with other more prominent problems while putting illegal

English 102 20 October 2014 Argument Essay Raising the Drinking Age Recently in the news, have been rumors of raising the drinking age to 25 years old, shocking people around the country. Despite the negative public reaction to this possible change in age, but I believe 21-year-olds are still too naïve to be legally allowed to drink alcohol. In my opinion, the drinking age should be raised to 25 because of constant binge drinking by 21-24-year-olds. The abuse of alcohol these young adults displays…

allows individuals to make an impact on a socioeconomic scale, an impact that would be lost without neutrality. Despite the advantages of an unhindered Net, many individuals believe neutrality is not the best course for the Internet.
