Will the United States ever legalize marijuana?
The first state will fully decriminalize marijuana within 5 years. Denver already legalized possession of 2 ounces, but the police still enforce state law prohibiting it. It seems likely that Colorado will be the first state to actually legalize it fully. It will be extremely limited at first but will eventually be merged with the medical marijuana community and dispensaries will grow more prevalent, but heavily regulated and taxed. But with the large surplus of Marijuana growing coming as a result, product would actually reduce in price.Personally, I would have to say it would be a good thing. The sheer amount of people going to jail for mere possession of marijuana is a huge injustice that would be corrected. Mexican drug cartels that kills thousands of people per year would lose their cash crop with the legalization of marijuana as cheaper and far more potent strands would exist inside the United States. I also believe once responsibility is taught rather than scare tactics, teenagers will be less likely to abuse drugs.
