Marijuana is becoming the new "gold rush"

              It seems like the United States is finally realizing how much money they could make and save if Marijuana was finally legalized. Deregulation is opening up so many new possibilities that some "economists are comparing it to the gold rushes of the 1800s." This new "green rush" is creating jobs for many people despite the fear of federal prohibition. There are dispensaries found in many states, many local people are going there to find jobs. So, not only will there be more employment, but also the U.S Government can also put taxes on marijuana, the sale and growth of it.


Plenty of people working & making money due to the California "Gold Rush".


She is not the only one who made these plants grow. A dispensary could employ up to at least 20 people, even up to 100, depending on the size. If they were turned into "factories" and had larger space to produce more product, there could be 100's of people employed just at one dispensary. If the U.S government would legalize the growth and sale of Marijuana in every state, so many more people could be employed. Imagine what this could do for the economy. There would be less homeless people, there could be more small business owners that could potentially do greater things with their lives. Less people would be in jail over having Marijuana contraband. If each person was to be allowed to posses 2.5 ounces of Marijuana, these business would be making plenty of money and the government in turn would be able to tax that money, leading the government to perhaps getting closer to being debt free. The economy would be booming, just like it was during the "Gold rush". However, gold runs out since it cannot be grown. We would never run out of Marijuana, thus a continuous booming economy.
