Should marijuana be legalized? Since 2012 four US states have
legalized commercial for-profit marijuana production and use, while
Washington DC has legalized possession, growth and gifting of
limited amounts of the plant. Other states, and even cities, have
decriminalized possession, allowed for medical use, or reduced
possession to a misdemeanor. While marijuana is forbidden by
international treaties and by national and local laws across the
globe, polls show that public support for legalization has
continued to increase steadily over time. So why does the issue of
marijuana legalization continue to be so controversial? One short
answer is that it is an extremely complicated business, with
approaches toward legalization just within the United States
varying widely. What's more, not all supporters of "legalization "
agree on what it is they want to legalize: Just using marijuana?
Growing it? Selling it? Advertising it? If sales are to be legal,
what regulations and taxes should apply? Different forms of
legalization have demonstrated very different results. This second
edition of Marijuana Legalization: What Everyone Needs to Know (R)
provides readers with a non-partisan primer covering everything
from the risks and benefits of using marijuana to what is happening
with marijuana policy in the United States and abroad. The authors
discuss the costs and benefits of legalization at the state and
national levels and explore the "middle ground " of policy options
between prohibition and commercialized production. The book also
considers the personal impact of marijuana legalization on parents,
heavy users, medical users, employers, and even drug traffickers.
