What would the USA look like |

If we:
Allowed people to grow and use weed for personal use and barter. Allowed commercial growing and production of the hemp plant. Focused on hard drugs as a medical rather than an incarceration issue. Enforced strict laws against those companies hiring illegally and our citizens themselves quit hiring illegally. Had a strong progressive tax code minus loopholes. Pulled back from wars, foreign bases, and occupations and instead used those revenues to put Americans to work rebuilding our country's infrastructure, including energy, in a modern and environmentally sustainable way? Had a public health system the world envied. Banks actually worked for and with the people. Had truly "fair trade" laws and tariffs rather than the free trade nonsense.
What would this country look like?
