This means, when and if marijuana is legalized nationwide the amount of trafficking, manufacturing, distributing and possession offenses will obviously dwindle down. By eliminating the vast majority of drug related crimes in our country we would not be sending individuals to jail to sit and eat up the tax dollars we pay in for something that seems so petty in a sense. The marijuana prohibition and the alcohol prohibition are very similar in this standpoint, instead of going to your bootlegger you only go see your “drug dealer” to get your hands on what has made illegal. By legitimizing businesses to manufacture and dispense the product you cut down on the amount that is being ran through the streets to be sold
