Re-legalizing the relatively safe, God-given plant cannabis (marijuana) alone would make a world of difference. It's extremely popular, safer than beer, wine or whiskey, can not ever cause an overdose and accounts to 60% to 70% of cartels business according to government. Cannabis should be regulated and taxed. Another reason to stop caging responsible adults for using cannabis that doesn't get mentioned is because it's Biblically correct since Christ God Our Father, The Ecologician, indicates He created all the seed-bearing plants, saying they are all good, on literally the very first page (Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30). The only Biblical restriction placed on cannabis is that it is to be accepted with thankfulness; - -see 1 Timothy 4:1-5 (Apostasy), where it also seems to Biblically predict cannabis prohibition before it occurs and further, specifically identifies the type of people who will be responsible for the plants prohibition.
