Marijuana in the USA – level 1
This news is about marijuana. You can buy it legally in two states in the USA. You can also buy sweets that have marijuana inside them.
This is a growing business. The governments control and tax it. People spend 400 million dollars in a year on marijuana. This is good for the economy.
Some people say that marijuana should not be legal. They are against it.
Difficult words: marijuana (a type of drug from a plant), legally (you can do something according to a law), tax (when you must pay money to a government for something).
