End the War... on drugs

Comedic actor Zach Galifianiakis recently appeared on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher
and fired up a joint in support of California's proposition 19,
which if passed would allow Cali citizens to grow 25 square feet of marijuana.


411: No democrat has backed prop. 19.
The states debt has nearly tripled since "the Governator" took office 7 years ago.
Holding the countries second largest public bond debt.
The legalization of canibus would earn the state $8-9 billion dollars.

If constituted prop. 19 would prove to be a wise decision for investors
as the market prepares to take on "ganja bonds" upon being passed.

Economic/political analyst Max Keiser who created the
"virtual specialist technology" used by the Hollywood Stock Exchange:


Harvard economics professor Jeffrey Miron believes all drugs should be legal.
This would save the nation $41.3 billion of expenditure fueled into the "war on drugs".
($25.7 billion to state, $15.6 billion to federal)
Additionally garnishing $46.7 billion in tax revenue annually.
($8.7 billion alone from the legalization of marijuana)


Some U.S. Facts:

-over 1.4 million drug related arrests have been made this year
on par to beat 2007's record of 1.8 million

-more than 612k arrests have been made this year for canibus alone

-someone's arrested for a drug violation every 17 seconds

-nearly 4,000 new HIV infections from this year alone can be prevented
if the federal ban on needle exchange is lifted this year
(10 cases a day)

-Over $42 billion has spent this year alone on combating the use of drugs
