How do marijuana laws affect taxpayers?

Irvin Rosenfeld (Stock Broker) gives expert video advice on: How are you treated by law enforcement officials?; What has your relationship with US Drug Enforcement Agency been like?; Can you travel on commercial airlines with your medical marijuana? and more...

I know in Florida, if somebody is arrested for a certain amount of marijuana that they have in their possession then they're going to be put in prison. Okay, when they are put in prison, we have over crowding in prison. So that means they are putting a non-violent criminal in jail, which cost me money to put him in jail. They could be letting out a violent criminal, which is going to harm us worse. Now that person goes into jail, and now the family may have to go on welfare. So now my tax money is paying for that guy in prison and for his family because he in prison, and they're on welfare. I don't like that. That's not good, that's not smart. You know I'm a stockbroker, I want to make money for myself and for my clients. And I don't want to waste money, and that's a waste of money. But more important, it's a waste of human resources and it's a waste of what we're doing to our population.
