Cannabis Referendum 2020

In this session of our 6th Hurumanu, we begin to look at a referendum that is debated around this time. It is the 'Cannabis Referendum', voting of if Cannabis should be legalized. Cannabis, commonly known as Marijuana, is a psychoactive drug, primarily used for medicinal as well as 'recreational' purposes. Legalizing the use of this may have its own amount of positive as well as negative effects. Some of the more positive side of this would be, more income to the country, we then know who supplies this cannabis, creating more jobs as well as being able to know what is being bought. It also has its share of negative effects which might sprout in this legalization. It could possibly cause a person to act upon bad deed, addiction and it might not at all stop illegal buyers and suppliers.

Personally, in my opinion, I believe that it should indeed be legalized. Most of the reasons why we have "bad" information upon this substance are because of rumours that have sprouted from discrimination or the "kind of people" that uses it. It has also been proven several years ago that this is not as dangerous as it seems. Not only that but, the increase of tax, would be put into better use and could boost the economy, especially in these times.
