In this blog post, we will explore the link between the likelihood of marijuana businesses being permitted in a city’s jurisdiction and the level of financial stress being experienced by the city.
Want To Secure The Border? Legalize Marijuana
The legalization of marijuana by some states certainly has had an effect in the United States, especially when it comes to its medicinal use. Federal legalization of the drug could increase those positive effects as well. While the medical benefits of marijuana legalization are a strong argument, we believe there is an even better but rarely used argument in favor of its legalization. Marijuana legalization would increase border security and limit the power of the Mexican drug cartels.
