Our government unfortunately follows the notion “all talk and no action”. If the United States decides to use this oh-so-ineffective method of (in)action then the future of America holds the prospect of the same degenerate circumstances present in today’s society. Globally, the drug trafficking problem will only exacerbate with time. Because marijuana is not legal in the United States users resort to other illegal methods of obtaining the drug that increase violence in the US and in other countries such as Mexico. Another dismal implication of this unresolved issue is that if medical marijuana is not made legal across the US then ill people all over the country will not be able to use their medication without fear of prosecution. So far only 14 states in the US have legalized medical marijuana and many medical marijuana patients are prosecuted in America and are subject to raids by the federal government every year. A negative implication for the future of an America where pot is still prohibited that hits close to home is that US taxpayers will continue to play unnecessary amounts of money toward the 800,000 people arrested and jailed each year due to marijuana related infractions. This is a waste of US taxpayers money and if marijuana is not made legal then gobs of money will go down the drain every single year paying for prisoners shelter, food, and clothes. THANKS, THANKS A LOT. I just love being wasteful…don’t you?
I'm not really sure why the color of the font changes in the middle of my post but I can't fix it so if you're reading this, you're just going to have to deal :)

Your posts are always very entertaining! It seems as if society would be a lot better if they'd just un-ban the bud! In an ironic way, I do feel that crime and drug trafficking would decrease if marijuana were to be legalized. People wouldn't have to be so shady about it and hopefully the drug dealers wouldn't have to result to violence over it. Also, I never considered the people that need marijuana for medical reasons being un-able to get it. It seems like that is un-fair. If marijuana has medical benefits it should be available for those that need it
