LEGALIZE MARIJUANA

With the "fiscal cliff" looming, Congress finds itself contemplating 
many unpleasant and politically unpopular options including 
increasing taxes and cutting Social Security and Medicare. President 
Barack Obama is working to build public support for his proposals.

Recent votes in Colorado and Washington State legalizing marijuana 
offer the president and Congress a route to both increasing revenues 
and saving billions now spent enforcing marijuana prohibition. Full 
national legalization of cannabis/hemp will provide millions of jobs 
and create multiple new green industries that will bring a new era of 
prosperity.

A majority of Americans now support legal pot. Even the chief of the 
Indiana State Police recently opined that legalization makes sense. 
Ending cannabis prohibition is just the ticket for a soft landing off 
the fiscal cliff.
