The statistics behind the danger of both drugs speaks volumes.

"A study on marijuana use and intimate partner violence found that couples who used marijuana had lower rates of intimate partner violence in the first 9 years of marriage. In fact, men who used marijuana were the least likely to commit an act of intimate partner violence against a spouse."

-"Studies in the early 1970s showed that marijuana, when smoked, lowered intraocular pressure (IOP) in people with normal pressure and those with glaucoma."

"It may help reverse the carcinogenic effects of tobacco and improve lung health."

The new measure is expected to bring the two states more than $550 million combined, with more than 300 economists previously estimating that legalizing pot could save the U.S. up to $14 billion a year."

It's clear that there is a hot demand for marijuana and the taxed products could benefit our schools, streets, and overall government fund. ]]> 2017-12-19 18:40:38 UTC https://padlet.com/HAedu/exvqnyemlexh/wish/217338323 RALLY CAMPAIGN HAedu https://padlet.com/HAedu/exvqnyemlexh/wish/217345118 Spread the #greenforgreen]]> 2017-12-19 19:00:25 UTC https://padlet.com/HAedu/exvqnyemlexh/wish/217345118 Mass Incarceration Dilemma HAedu https://padlet.com/HAedu/exvqnyemlexh/wish/217346109 The United States holds 25% of the world's prisoner population. So much money is funneled into the criminalization of the drug. If we were to lift these rules, we'd lower the prison rates, and be able to funnel more money into schools. ]]> 2017-12-19 19:03:29 UTC https://padlet.com/HAedu/exvqnyemlexh/wish/217346109 Newsletter!
