but here is one solution.

With the failing newspaper industry, I think that pot can be made legal once more. One of the main supporters, William Randolf Hearst, had invested in the timber industry and didn't want to lose money by hemp being the main paper source because of it's quick growing time which lowered the price. So he ran slanted stories in his newspaper playing on people's fears of reefer-madness killing sprees and what else but those pesky, dangerous Mexicans.

People are still terrified of Mexicans, especially with the current drug cartel situation. Ironically, this is coming to front as the medical marijuana arguments are continuing.

I think that making pot legal would help our economy through the taxation, lower the crime, and aid the failing print media by lowering the cost of production. It would also create jobs. It could hurt pharmaceutical companies, but they screw enough people so what goes around comes around. Plus, some people take things way too seriously and need to light up and lighten up.

I don't understand the reason it is still illegal except that there are big money players fighting to keep it illegal so they can keep their riches, especially in this economy, and they are playing on old fears that people still have.

Enlighten me with you thoughts. Or your alternative way of helping out the country while it flailing about with no straight plan except throwing around more money and talking points.
