Remove the federal prohibition on cannabis -marijuana and cannabis-hemp. Colorado and Washington State have created thousands of jobs and generated millions in personal income as well as tax revenue. Crime has dropped as legalization pulls the rug out from criminal bankers as well as gangs. Cannabis-hemp has thousands of industrial applications to further expand personal revenue as well as industrial enterprise.
