The Texan Way
By Andrew Franco
Marijuana Legalization
“It is certainly something that we are very interested in.” (Gordon, 1): CEO of Kush Tourism. Of the three jurisdictions where voters approved marijuana legalization in November, Washington D.C. is the smallest but the most symbolically. Congress can try to stop this by barring the D.C. council from spending money to implement it.
My opinion on marijuana
My opinion on marijuana is if you are not smoking marijuana, then you're not living. Marijuana is the best thing that has ever happened. It prevents disease, causes happiness and extreme laughter. When you smoke marijuana, it will cause you to eat, laugh, and sleep like a baby. If you don't smoke marijuana, you honestly have no idea what your missing out on. Marijuana is simply the best.
INteresting facts
1.) Legalizing marijuana could bring peace to the US-Mexico border.
2.) Ending prohibition is good for racial justice.
3.) Marijuana is politically relevant.
Texans Support
“There’s billions to be had in this industry and it’s attracting everyone and anyone.” (Walsh, 2). Many people want to end prohibition. “It’s going to be increasingly difficult for national politicians to continue ignoring the growing majority of voters.” (Angell, 2). I agree with Tom Angell of the anti-prohibitionist group marijuana supporters.
Poll Tax
If mercurial medbox got accepted by NASDAQ, there would be a higher chance for the legalization and taxation of marijuana. I’ve been saying for a while that 2016 presidential candidates need to start courting the cannabis constituency, and now the road to the white house quite literally travels legal marijuana territory.
Why Should You Smoke This Beautiful Plant?
It can stop seizures. It also steers people away from alcohol and tobacco. If legalized and taxed, it could save the economy. It has been shown to stop cancer and other harmful diseases. It causes happiness and laughter. Laughter is the second best medicine because marijuana is the first. Marijuana also has a zero annual death rate so why shouldnt you smoke it? "Its the best thing ever." says every supporter and stoner.
