I have an idea for CHANGE
Here ya go:
100% legalize and tax Marijuana for anyone over the age of 21.
Use the tax revenue in it's entirety to fund a universal health care system.
The cost of Marijuana could be stablized or even brought down because the legality of it, which would allow for more growers, less criminality and making the substance controlled and monitored. While also having the citizens of this country benefiting from the taxes that would go towards health care.
In addition, HEMP could be used as a bio-fuel lessening the drain on wheat and corn thus lowering the price of fuel and in addition, introducing a new, sustainable, supplement to fossil fuels.
As for all the pot heads and the health crisis they may cause, I'm sure the epidemic will pass quickly. If it doesn't, I'm sure HOSTESS will be more than happy to manufacture more Twinkies and Ho'Ho's..
And I won't even get into the medical marijuana debate here !
