The Legalization of Marijuana in America in one of the longest unsettled dispute between the Government and the people. The consumption of cannabis in USA is highest in the world apparently. The Police system has flourished and grown over time to time with the number of people they catch and bring to prison everyday keeps on rising.
In my opinion the Government doesn’t want to legalize the marijuana even though its medical benefits over shadows its negative impact on a person’s health. Why they don’t want to be is very simple. Firstly if marijuana gets legalized, the production will rise which will cause the price to fall down economically. Secondly legalization of marijuana will make the firms accountable for their revenues and profits. Thirdly the marijuana has numerous benefits and since it’s a natural herb, the giant pharmaceutical companies making abnormal profits will be affected. Lastly the Police Department will suffer badly.
All these reasons are a disaster to the Government financially. Most of the incomes that Government hides are the black market income. Government is always involved because power corrupts.
Bob Marley, the African American singer with a Jamaican accent supported the legalization of marijuana all his life. I’d like to list some of the quotes by Bob on weed (another name for marijuana)


"Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol is the destruction."

"Herb is the unification of mankind."

“When you smoke the herb, it reveals you to yourself."

If something as bad as alcohol can be legalized in most parts of the world, why then its marijuana who has to suffer with the illegal-drug label to it? Marijuana, a herb, coming from God’s land, no harmful effect and most importantly no deaths reported to it is definitely more of a positive than a negative substance deprived from humans.
