Last blog assignment of the semester and my colleague Renee wrote an interesting and popular post about how Texas should legalize medical and recreational use of Marijuana. She made very good points about the health benefits of Medical use of Marijuana such as how it doesn't have major side effects on the patients and how it is proving to actually help people.
For recreational use Renee states in her blog that "In Colorado the legalization of marijuana has created thousands of new jobs. They have regulations for buying, selling, and possession. They have tax on both recreational and medical use, with a 10 percent additional special state tax on recreational use. This gave them a 135 million tax and fee revenue last year to put into other funds, such as education"
Overall Renee provided a well written blog about how Texas could lean towards legalizing Marijuana and learn from Colorado and other states who have decided to legalize it. As a state Texas can learn what will benefit us and make a system that fits into our standards that will make our state and the citizens who live in it happy.
