    This document summarizes two arguments related to legalizing drugs: 1) A predictive argument that legalizing drugs would likely create more problems for society and the environment by increasing drug access and use, dramatically growing marijuana production which harms the environment, and reducing workplace productivity and increasing accidents. 2) A causal argument that legalizing and taxing drugs may not be a viable solution to policy goals due to potential decreases in drug prices lowering tax revenue, high costs of regulation and enforcement outweighing tax gains, and possible increases in drug-related crime.

    Taxing decriminalized Marijuana, they would have to be legalized

    to be taxed, would provide a genuine attraction for the


    government treasury and instead of money going into criminals,
    they would be going to you.

    Predictive argument
    Premise 1: Legalizing drugs in the U.S. will increase Americans’ access to drugs, and could put
    more drugs in the hands of those who already suffer substance use disorders.

    Premise 2:  Legalizing recreational marijuana will dramatically increase growth of the plant,
    which is bad for the environment.

    Premise 3: The regular use of marijuana on or near the workplace can lead to a loss of
    productivity and an increase of workplace accidents

    employment-law
    Conclusion: Therefore, it is likely that legalizing drugs would create more problems for both
    society and the environment.

    causal argument
    Premise 1:  Legalizing and taxing drugs could lead to decreased prices for drugs, which
    could result in decreased tax revenue.
    (Source:https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/could-legalizing-and-taxing-drugs-
    lower-the-deficit ).

    Premise 2:The cost of regulating and enforcing drug laws could outweigh any potential
    tax revenue. 
    (Source: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/17/the-us-has-spent-over-a-trillion-dollars-
    fighting-war-on-drugs.html)
    Premise 3: Legalizing drugs could lead to an increase in crime, particularly in the drug
    trade.

    crime-rates#:~:text=The%20results%20of%20this%20study,significant%20changes
    %20immediately%20following%20legalization.

    Conclusion: Legalizing and taxing drugs may not be a viable solution to decrease social
    inequality, generate significant tax revenue, or reduce crime due to the potential decrease in
    drug prices, high cost of regulation and enforcement, and potential increase in drug-related
    crime.
