'Marijuana use and abuse have grown wherever it has been legalized. This means whenever the Drug Policy Alliance succeeds, there are more addicts, more brain damage, and more ruined families.' -dcexaminer
This claim is true. The alliance has been instrumental in legalizing marijuana in 11 states and Washington, D.C. The promised benefits of marijuana legalization, however, have failed to materialize, leaving hundreds of communities with more addiction, death, and chaos.Contrary to what propagandists at the Drug Policy Alliance tell you, marijuana is not a benign substance with medicinal properties. Marijuana is addictive, particularly for young users.
What about all the supposed benefits of legalization? Has crime decreased now that it's legal to buy, sell, and possess marijuana? Are states that legalized marijuana rolling in new tax revenues? Are fewer people taking opioids and fentanyl now that marijuana is a legal option?Marijuana legalization has clearly increased crime. Strict regulations and taxes placed on legal marijuana sellers have created a vast illicit market that easily undercuts the legal market on price.
With the illegal market roughly double the size of the legal one, estimated tax revenues from legal marijuana sales have fallen far short of expectations, leaving states stuck with massive bills for increased drug addiction services but without the extra revenue to pay them.
