Online Gambling and Pot – What a Great Way to Make Money
August 12, 2009
There is a large portion of the population that thinks that both online gambling and marijuana should be legalized. They say that the amount of money in revenue that could come from making them legal is simply ridiculous in theory and as they are both victimless crimes there should be a way to them legal and basically working for the government.
The industries could bring in billions of dollars for the country and there is now legislation that would make them legal if passed. Marijuana has been illegal for decades while online gambling is new to the banished zone. People have been fighting for years to get it legalized and so far there has not been much in the way of headway for it except to see lessened penalties.
California is in the lead in as far as trying to make marijuana legal, as well as online gambling. They are determined that it is essential for the state for these things to happen as they know that they will bring in roughly $2 billion for marijuana alone. The bill for legalizing online gambling would make all online gambling except for sports betting legal in every state. It would then be up to the states to decide whether or not they want to allow online gambling in their borders.
But with marijuana those that are currently in jail for non violent crimes pertaining to it would be set free, those in the court system would have their records expunged and those that are in trouble for a host of things other than just marijuana would still be in a heap of trouble.
