No, I don't think legalizing marijuana would be good for the economy. Because essentially what you would have running around is a bunch of pot heads, who would start committing a lot of crimes because they're high all the time. I don't think very much would get done, if pot was legalized because people would be driving high, going to work high, driving school buses while they are under the influence. And then where would this leave us? Not a good idea at all. It should only be used in a controlled environment for medicinal purposes.
Obama: Legalizing Pot Won’t Grow Economy
(Here’s one: “With over 1 out of 30 Americans controlled by the penal system, why not legalize, control, and tax marijuana to change the failed war on drugs into a money making, money saving boost to the economy? Do we really need that many victimless criminals?") “The answer is, no, I don't think that is a good strategy to grow our economy,” the president said. His answer prompted applause from the audience.
