At least half of the country had enough sense to not use marijuana.
One of the benefits in legalizing marijuana is limiting the reach of the government’s confiscation of property.
Many, many people have been jailed for marijuana possession and have their homes seized as a result. When they have served their time, the struggle to regain their homes, cars, or any property is horrendous, very long-lasting, and expensive.
Besides taxes, confiscation of property is the government’s main source of income.
