Marijuana Laws
The cost for one marijuana-related arrest is estimated at $10,400. Over the course of a year, the price for enforcing these laws are $7.6 billion. With those facts stated, I do believe that Marijuana laws should be relaxed. $7.6 billion in which local governments can use to fight real crime; $7.6 billion dollars that local schools need not the countless hours wasted by the local governments to keep our court system moving smoothly.
It is proven that recreational use of marijuana is relatively safe when compared to all recreational drugs. Also, marijuana is know for its therapeutic effect often used to counter anxiety and stress. For many of these people, marijuana is the only answer to their condition. The fact that Taxpayer's dollars are used to fight small marijuana infractions is appalling. If the laws are relaxed, it could eventually lead to legalization, which is the current debate in California. Legalized or not, pot should not be the cause for law enforcement to arrest and incarcerate citizens.
