Idaho is in dire need for a new source of revenue. A perfectly sound solution to this problem is the legalization and taxation of marijuana. It is time to look past the outdated, incorrect medical stance on marijuana. When marijuana was illegalized the government used propaganda to surround marijuana with a cloud of bogus information, with recent studies marijuana has proven to have lower detrimental effects on the human body then both alcohol and tobacco. Yet both these drugs are legal and bring in huge amounts of tax revenue. I believe with the legalization and taxation of marijuana Idaho would get over this “recession” and also tax payers would no longer have to fork money over to the millions of citizens incarcerated for minor marijuana possession charges.
