First of all, it would help our nation become free of debt. If the U.S. government put a tax on marijuana, the money that came from that would be enough to pay off our entire nations debt, as well as have money left over. Marijuana tests also show that the affects of this drug on people aren't hindering at all, which i feel makes it unlike any other drug. I don't think Marijuana should even be considered a drug. There are many benefits of Hemp. :)
