Our state tax monies need to be used to prosecute violent crime, not punish medical marijuana users. Over 500 deaths are reported each year from Tylenol overdose, but marijuana has never been listed as the medical cause of an overdose death.

Can we not legalize, tax and control medical marijuana production and distribution as a means of taking the violence out of its production and distribution while generating millions in tax revenue for a struggling state?

We need to deal with the illegal production, sale and consumption of marijuana as being one of social significance. As a society, we must focus our dwindling police resources on preventing violent crimes instead of clogging the court systems with simple cases of possession of marijuana, which takes valuable officers out of the field and reduces the force desperately needed to prevent more violent crimes.
