On top of this, there is the position that both Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica are full-fledged species, with Cannabis ruderalis being included in the former rather than the latter.
Still, it wasn’t uncommon to see cannabis being included in the medicinal products of the late 19th century, though to be fair, this was the same period in which cocaine was being included in the medicinal products.
As such, it seems safe to say that the legalization of cannabis will remain a contentious issue for quite some time to come, with much of the debate focused on its economic impact.
If cannabis is legalized on the federal level, that could mean a lot of tax revenues that could be used to fund a wide range of programs for a wide range of people.
However, there are studies claiming that legalized cannabis could support more than 41,000 jobs in the state of Nevada, more than 81,000 jobs in the state of California, and more than 1 million jobs in the United States as a whole.
In either case, risk on its own discourages investment because the overwhelming majority of people see risk as something to put up so long as the benefits are sufficient rather than as something beneficial in its own right.
In any case, there are a lot of people who would argue that this would be good from a societal perspective because about nine in ten arrests for cannabis-related offenses are for possession rather than either sale or manufacturing, which aren’t particularly problematic for society as a whole.
For instance, people who choose to smoke cannabis can find it causing damage to their lungs because cannabis smoke contains some of the same problematic compounds as tobacco smoke.
Even so, it is reasonable for people to point out that the legalization of cannabis will presumably increase the number of users, which in turn, means an increase in these health effects and thus the economic impact of these health effects.
He spends more time than is perhaps wise with his eyes fixed on a screen either reading history books, keeping up with international news, or playing the latest releases on the Steam platform, which serve as the subject matter for much of his writing output.
