legalization of marijuana would stop people from growing in our national parks. Sure would. In addition to all of the other savings. Lower prison loads. Lower court loads. The savings to the people that would not be in the system. Legal aid for school. Access to jobs. Access to housing. I don't believe any of that. It will still be illegal to drive under the influence. Underage use will be illegal. Ditto public intoxication. Those are generally the things that get most people arrested now and would continue to be if it were legalized. Alcohol is legal and loads of people are in jail and prison for alcohol related offenses. RE access to jobs and housing - employers and landlords will still not want dopers. I have no idea what "legal aid for school" means.
