Nobody is jumping up and down to make marijuana legal.

Of course not. That's the way they wants it.

Please outline the benefits that would be created from making weed legal. The people of the US have nothing to gain from it.

Yes they do. First, if you have a 50% sin tax on the sale of weed. You would do a couple of things. You could use that money for health programs and or drug abuse programs. Help those who need it.

Second, you would no longer have a whole shit load of people in jail/prison for a victim-less crime.

Third, you would no longer have the illegal market and all of it's support system in place. (i.e. Drug gangs would no longer make money from the illegal sales. Thus then taking cash out of the underground economy.)

And plus, believe it or not, most people think drugs are actually BAD, and it is highly doubtful that they will support a proposal to make drugs legal.

Most people have been conditioned to believe what the government says is true. I prefer to think for myself. If drug's are bad then let me make my own choice. Please use the government as a quality control. That is if I want coke or smack it had better be what it says on the label.

Is that clear enough for you to understand?
