Even after evidence intangible and tangible comes out about the polarizing plant, our government still proceeds to unjustly incarcerate millions of Americans every year on charges of possession of marijuana.
We have a broken criminal justice system that seems to serve an agenda larger than getting drug abusers and offenders off the street. The number of black and brown men being incarcerated for this plant is proportionally larger than any other race and ethnicity. It has become a perfect way to restrain the poor, and populate jails and prisons to initiate free labor and depopulation in this country.
These claims are all backed by facts and credentials, and many Americans have no clue on how the government has dealt with this epidemic of criminal injustice. According to DrugPolicy.org, over $51 billion is spent annually on the war on drugs. In a country that struggles to compete globally in education, innovation and other areas of interest this is a bit discerning. This also includes a 57% incarceration rate for Blacks and Latinos, which was the case in 2014 alone. These problems have been going on for over 30 years now and it is time for a generation to step up, and help reunite crumbled families.
Here are 10 dynamic reasons why legalizing marijuana will change the world and set our society on a new course of achievement. The millennials will make a change:
10. Decriminalization Will Grow Our Economy
Marijuana, despite the many facts about the drug, is still classified as a schedule 1 substance sitting right next to heroine and LSD on the list of dangerous substances. I know this may sound shocking since the drug has literally claimed 0 deaths in its existence. Decriminalizing the drug will offer opportunities for ex-cons (most of which are non-violent offenders) to proactively search for jobs, apply for student loans and position themselves and their families for opportunities that having a possession charge on their record negates. This will also help bring home some of the great minds of the black and brown community who because of financial circumstance had little choice as a young man in this society. Poverty is one thing that will kill a man on the inside. Throwing us into situations where success is limited will only create people who see drugs as the alternative to living poor. Legalization is slowing down cartel illegal activity as we speak.
