www.mainewebnews.com
How much does it cost Maine tax payers to enforce marijuana prohibition? Maine Web News follows the case of one man, James P. Fowler, to see how many tax dollars can end up being spent on just one marijuana prosecution. Rep. Diane Russell of Maine District 120 suggest there are far more worthy causes for our valuable tax dollars.

Great video. I hope Mr. Fowler sticks with the natural cures and avoids the pharmaceuticals. Their are fruits, veggies, berries, plants and herbs to treat most things. Amazing how god gave us all that we need but big pharma doesn't want people thinking like that. Trying to enforce the prohibition of a personal choice is a complete waste of our tax dollars as the legislator Russell suggests.

No nor should tax dollars be spent in any state for Cannabis it is a plant .. its not man made just a plant that is not only being used as meds but could make fuel, paper, clothes, rope, and much more not to mention create jobs.

hell no. Weed should be legal. Gorge Washington had a weed farm. if you don't like it just do smoke it. if you commit a crime "on weed" you go to jail for who ever you hurt(not weed). weed is only illegal because it is a form of tender according to Gorge Washington.

But a doctor can push a pill on you which most the time are experimental drugs with unthinkable side effects! Just like good little drug dealers do, push the pill for a piece of the profit!

@KripDrip That's what the majority of people and the government wants you to think, most of them are users, you dumbfuck.

those inmates are the drug DEALERS! The criminal scum selling the drugs. Not the users.
