Lachlan Platten · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : E, Explanation :  Contracts for the sale of illegal goods, such as marijuana (where it's considered illegal), are void from the outset because they involve an illegal subject matter. This also makes them unenforceable, as courts will not enforce agreements that involve the performance of illegal activities.
