Well, to be perfectly honest with you nothing, except for the fact that in the United States possession of marijuana is a crime. The purpose of this blog is not to persuade you or tell you what to believe. The purpose is to expose to you the United States tax payer how much it is costing you to enforce a "drug" that is no more dangerous than alcohol . Instead the government should get involved in cashing in on this "cash crop", with taxation as a pose to spending millions upon millions of dollars enforcing something that is already widely available to the public.
