Legalization of marijuana is a good idea DESPITE THE FACT Thousands of illegal immigrants farm marijuana on the West Coast. Billions of dollars are made every year in the United States in marijuana sales, but it is not taxed. This financial problem is a recurring issue. To put it another way if the sale and manufacturing of marijuana was legalized in the untied states the government could tax the sales and would not have to spend the money policing and prosecuting illegal activity it could save 7.7 billion dollars a year and then the tax revenue would be another 6.2 billion dollars per year. This would be a huge spike to our economic issues at the state and federal level.

To make a case in point the illegal immigrants are part of the problem, without the thousands of illegal immigrants farming marijuana there would be less marijuana which would mean less non taxed revenue. Less illegal immigrants would also mean less federal dollars spent on illegal immigrants using federal programs to help those in need, while providing more for those actual American citizens who are in need.
