Introduction

If America is a united nation, why is it that we don’t t carry out marijuana regulations consistently throughout all the states? Why are people facing jail time for marijuana distribution while others profit from it? How is this allowed to happen? Marijuana is only legalized for recreational use in fourteen states. One of these states includes California, which marijuana farms are grown. But, in New York the smallest amount will result in you being arrested and based on your previous offenses will lead to serious jail time. I believe the same rules should apply to all states regardless. Recently, there has been steps to make marijuana legalized for recreational use but there are still people sitting behind bars for it. What will it take to let these people free or pardoned? Does the President of the United States have to step in or can it be resolved within state. I don’t believe it is ethical for these people to still be behind bars.
