Tennessee should legalize marijuana for adults 21 and older.

Marijuana is illegal in Tennessee for both medical and adult use, apart from limited low-THC products. Legalization would allow adults to buy marijuana from state-licensed sellers, with sales taxed by the state.

I do support the state's ban on cannabis. Marijuana, its addictive nature, and its other troubling effects have no place in Tennessee.
