Give me a reason why marijuana should be illegal.
activists have pushed towards changing the legality concerning its prohibition. And it's worked in several states to the point of full legalization with several states following their example.
The fact is the legal marijuana industry generates huge amounts of revenue, the taxes earned are incredible. You can be a socialist and still know a good investment when you see one.
So economically it is an obvious choice with regulation like alcohol it's incredibly beneficial from a capitalist standpoint.
Second point is we are incarcerating our countrymen for a harmless "crime". We're also paying for it. Do you truly see no correlation between the legal system and the prison industrial complex?
Third. This is fucking Murica. Goddamn government going to tell me what I can and can't do in the privacy of my own home? My ancestors didn't throw tea into the harbor just so I could go to prison for smoking a fucking plant.
