comment on peer (jay)

I agree that marijuana should be legalized. However I don’t think it will help lower the crime rate or that it would give an economic boost and help people find more jobs. Jay says that if marijuana was legalized that it would bring down the crime rate I don’t think this is true. If marijuana is legalized then there would not be a market for it but robbers are going to steal and people are going to kill for their own purpose. Jay also says that by opening stores it would cut out the middle man that’s true but, if the cartel can’t sell marijuana they will just change their business to meth or heroine. Jay argues that people will open pot stores and we can tax the marijuana but what stops people form just growing on their own. However let’s say people do not grow their own weed but pot heads are too lazy to do anything they won’t even get off the couch. So I believe we will just have a super-giant like Walmart making more money off marijuana like they do current off everything else. If weed was legalized most people would smoke all day and lay on a couch and we get nothing done.
