LEGALIZING MARIJUANA COULD HELP ECONOMY

Here in California, jobs are scarce and the economy is rocky. With an 
unemployment rate of 7.8 percent, we are more than 1 percent higher 
than the country average. Legalizing marijuana is what the state 
needs in order to take the next step to improve our society. This 
could even open up more job opportunities here and boost the economy. 
Colorado has proved itself over the past six months how marijuana has 
been a positive influence on its economy, opening up over 10,000 new 
jobs across the state.
