Legalization of Marijuana
Annotated Bibliography
Topic and Brief Description
Should marijuana be legalized?
Marijuana should be legal because it can lower the crime of drug dealing and gang fighting. To legalize marijuana can stop people going to black market and touch other more dangerous drugs. For these unstoppable issues, we can only use a mild way to reinforce the management, so that we can get over twenty billion dollars back every year, which is lost in black market. After marijuana being legalized, the price will go down, and there are no huge profits any more, it will reduce crime rates and other social problems. Marijuana can also create more jobs and help the economy growing, and decrease illegal immigrants from those drug countries.
