Marijuana & Drug Laws CNN Debate Video | Legalize Weed says Harvard Economist Jeffrey Miron

$77 billion a year to legalize drugs? Are you completely sure that this isn’t a viable option for America, President Obama?

Okay, I’m not gung ho about legalization of drugs because I frankly haven’t taken enough time to study possible repercussions. But at a possible profit tag of $77 billion, I think it’s wrong for President Obama to not even look at the possibilities.

Not only are you talking about setting up a completely new industry that could be US-only to create local loyalty, you’re talking about thousands of jobs created for regulation, enforcement, commerce, and so on.

Done right – and it could be done right with careful planning – this could be an answer.
