MGT 481 MANAGEMENT & SOCIETY: ETHICS & SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Legalizing Marijuana Marijuana is a psychoactive recreational drug that creates a sense of euphoria when smoked or digested. According to a 2015 Pew Research Center survey, 49% of Americans had tried marijuana, and 12% had used it during the past year. Marijuana use is legal in many states but not others. Those states that have legalized marijuana claim that criminalization is a misuse of law enforcement resources, and taxing marijuana will raise government revenue. Others claim that marijuana should remain illegal because it impairs driving ability and can lead to use of more dangerous and addictive drugs.
