Legalizing Drugs To Benefit The Economy? | Master Your Card
There is some debate among analysts that the solution to the U.S.’s economic problems is to legalize drugs. I’ll get to how they came to that conclusion in just a minute, but realistically, there are two arguments at play here. The first argument is about legalizing only marijuana, and the second concerns legalizing all street drugs.
Now I know your first instinct is to recoil in horror and think that such a thing is crazy. For the time being, let’s suspend our frame of reference and hold off on moral judgments. Instead, let’s look at it based on numbers.
This is a blog not normally concerned with drug policy (it’s a credit repair / learn your finances type blog) so it is good to see people outside the movement coming to the same conclusions as we do. Go click and give it a read and leave a comment.

I am the host of the NORML SHOW LIVE and The NORML Stash Blog. I'm married, live in Portland, Oregon, and I am a registered medical marijuana caregiver in this state. I've worked days as an IT geek and nights as a professional musician. Previously, I have been the host of my own political talk radio show on satellite radio. I've been the High Times "Freedom Fighter of the Month" for my work producing Oregon NORML's TV show, "A Cannabis Community Forum", and for helping to institute Portland's wildly successful medical marijuana cardholders meetings, where we help sick and disabled Oregonians acquire cannabis plant starts, learn gardening, and understand the medical marijuana law. I've dedicated my life to bringing an end to adult marijuana prohibition and re-legalizing cannabis hemp, and I'm honored to be chosen by NORML to be our daily voice.
