Best Answer

It's currently illegal, so yes.

This question has been debated by an untold number of people. I believe that it's legalization would require limitations just as alcohol does.

That being said, look at the history of alcohol and crime. It was illegal during the 1930's, which propagated the criminal sales market.

Once legalized, it created a host of other problems within the household.

The main problem that I can see with marijuana, is that it can be inhaled by any person passing by or by the children inside the home.

Would banks decrease or increase interest rates if they had less money to loan?

If banks had less money to loan they would increase their interest rates. This is because they would have to make the most profit off of the little money that they had to use. When banks have a lot of money to loan, interest rates are lower because they can still get a lot of interest even from the lower interest rates.
