Marijuana is no longer just a way for teens and hippies to catch a buzz. It's 'dangers' have been disproven, and its actual benefits have been shown time and time again in not only clinical trials, but in its use all over our country already.  It can help combat suffering, it generates revenue for the state, it takes a great chunk of gang related crime off the streets, and it grows in the ground!  15 other states have already jumped on the opportunity to end the pointless prohibition of pot, and Missouri can be the next state to show its competence.

   The establishment of a medical marijuana system in California has brought over 10 billion dollars into the state's revenue. And an increase in profit has been true for every state that allows the growth of a nationally growing industry.  This money would not only help improve the worsening conditions of cities in the Kansas City metro, but statewide could do that, help fund more educational programs in our cities' schools, or repair the crumbling Missouri highways.  These are all just broad ideas.

Young people have been the driving force behind this movement all across the nation, but all ages benefit from turning this crop into cash.
