Legalizing Marijuana? Oh Yes!

 Making Marijuana Legal
On Gabrielle's blog "I've Got It All (Most)" she talks about legalizing medical marijuana in Texas. I do agree with her  that this could help people with their pain. She makes a good point that it would not only help just the people that actually need it medically, but it would also create 200,000 jobs. Plus the fact that it can make $952 million in revenue for the state off the sale tax on it.The only issue I have with this idea is that there are people that would cheat the system doing anything they could to get their hands on marijuana for any purpose that is wanted. This idea of legalizing marijuana over all is a good idea if they have a plan to keep it under control. There are already 14 states that have marijuana legalized for medical marijuana purposes and I haven't heard of any problems with this in any of the states. What really is the worst thing that could happen? That Texas makes the medical marijuana legal; things get out of control and they have the ban it again. I mean yes, that is a lot of work, but legalizing it really wouldn't be a bad idea to try and see what happens. This could help many people and help Texas in general.
