They affect my taxes. Because people get locked up for having tiny amounts of MJ on them, it’s a waste of my money. Prisons are run by corporations which couldn’t care less about rehabilitation.

I’m not saying MJ is the sole cause, but the most useless one and seemingly most prolific. If it was legalized, the financial impact of others’ drug use would be greatly lessened.
