WHEREAS the legalization of marijuana (cannabis) fosters crime, homelessness,
unemployment, drug related hospitalizations, economic devastation, and overall
degradation of society as evidenced by other states which have already done so, and
WHEREAS the State of Colorado reports spending over $4 for every $1 received in the taxation of marijuana (cannabis), and
WHEREAS the legalization of marijuana (cannabis) actually increases “black
market” marijuana and other illegal drug trafficking which involves major cartel
activity, therefore
BE IT RESOLVED that Wyoming Republican Party stands against the legalization and decriminalization of medical and recreational marijuana (cannabis).
Passed:
Wyoming Republican Party, 22 May 7 State Convention
