Should Marijuana be legalized?
I think that marijuana should be legalized. Hundreds of thousands of people die each year due to smoking cigarettes and millions are effected by diseases due to smoking. With these numbers its ok for cigarettes to be legal? Marijuana kills 0 people a year (http://drugwarfacts.org/cms/?q=node/30). Even doctors prescribe it to patients to treat diseases. Also jail space is consumed by people caught with weed when there are robbers, rapists, ect.. out on the streets. I bet that if marijuana was legalized that the number of people that use it, wouldn't increase. Marijuana is a fad that lasts during the teenage and college years. Most people stop after they have "grown up." If it was legalized i think it would be fair to place an amount that a person can have on them at one time. This is just my opinion. Everyone should have to power to do what they want with themselves. What is your take on the topic?

I agree with you Zach. If marijuana can be an alternative to cigarettes it should definatley be legalized. I am amazed that marijuana does not kill anyone but cigarettes kill hundreds of thousands of people.
ReplyDeleteWell i agree and kind of disagree. I say that because you make some very good points that could go either way. In the end I would say that it should be legalized in some states, maybe not all but some. That way so that it solves problems invovling deaths and problems you stated, but wont cause a lot more down the road invovlving it being legal.
ReplyDeletei agree. it should deff be legalized ;)
ReplyDeletebut if it is legalized, the state would sell it in stores, and they would put a huge tax on it.
