Marijuana can be cultivated very well without using large amounts of electricity or producing mould in the house. It is only those that are producing large amounts of marijuana for illegal sale that have those problems. If the marijuana was legalized, us seniors could grow a few plants for our own use and sell the excess to make a little extra cash on the side to subsidize our shrinking pensions. By legalizing marijuana, people would be able to grow their own without fear of the law and those resources, now used to chase and prosecute the law breakers, could be used for better protection of the citizens of the country.
