WHY SHOULD THE USE OF CANNABIS BE LEGALISED
All that the bans did was creating an international black market and criminal industry that smuggled and supplied the drugs to the masses. This also resulted in a large scale organized corruption chain of police forces and custom services.
Moreover, cannabis has medicinal value, it is used to relieve pain in cancer patients, treat nausea, epilepsy and the CBD present in it is used to treat psychosis and anxiety.
Across the globe, most of the US, many EU nations, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Switzerland, South Africa and, North Korea have legalized cannabis in some form or another. The results of such legalization include a stark increase in state revenue, a decrease in violent crimes and a decrease in the number of female prisoners.
The legalization and commercialization of cannabis have been a win-win situation for both the government and the industry. U.S and Canadian stock exchange markets have boosted up several notches since the entry of the cannabis industry which is now a tax-paying, legal multi-billion dollar industry. The commercialization of this drug also solves the problem of unemployment in a country. In Colorado alone, the legalization created more than 10000 jobs.
