Cannabis

Some 8 billion dollars is spent yearly on domestic enforcement of marijuana's illegality. 2 billion dollars is the estimated uptake that a tax on marijuana would make the state of california. The state is estimated to produce 14 billion dollars worth of the drug annually.

There are rampant problems with the American police force, and the problems surrounding prison overcrowding are well-documented.

The reasons behind all of this are that the system is determined to enforce laws that appeal to the moral sense of a handful of Americans but is not in the legitimate interests of America or Americans.
