Okay. not that it will do anything, but maybe it could make a difference.
What do i need to add/edit/change to this? I'm trying to make it as full as possible, with as little holes as possible... Thanks

We, the undersigned, would like for marijuana to be legalized with certain restrictive laws for the use of medicating by patients.


New york state law prohibits the possession and use of marijuana. Certain state and city ordinances provide a little leniency on this issue, but not enough. The fact of the matter is that marijuana should be completely legalized for medical users.

The legalization of marijuana would have a definite positive economic influence. For one, legalization of medicinal marijuana would allow many legal pot fields to start operating, providing new jobs for field workers.

Also, many small businesses would be created devoted to the sales of marijuana, providing more jobs and more privately owned businesses. Additionally, business owners would have to obtain sales permits, which would generate money for local governments. The tax money obtained by local, state, and the federal governments should also be taken into account. This can help to pay off the astounding deficit at both federal and state levels.

All in all, there would be few problems caused by the legalization of medicinal marijuana. There would, of course, have to be certain restrictive laws placed on the use and possession of medicinal marijuana, similar to those laws on the use and possession of alcohol, and holding a medicinal marijuana card prescribed by doctors. For example, age requirements, public intoxication laws, and laws against driving while under the influence. On the other hand, marijuana-related crimes would decline, as the smuggling of marijuana would become much less unprofitable.

Please, consider these words and legalize medicinal marijuana.
