Marijuana is the most commonly used drug in the United States. However, it has the singular distinction of being both a commonly used illegal substance and also a legally prescribed medicinal substance in some states but not all. According to the people, marijuana doesn’t really stop you from doing activities. Marijuana smoke contains substances other than cannabinoids that are known to be potentially harmful to the brain like carbon monoxide. Marijuana is worldwide known; it’s even in today’s stuff like TV, Music, ETC. I don’t see how it’s not legal in every state cause it doesn’t harm your body too much. Why is that this drug is made illegal all over the world? It’s still in debate today if it should be a fully legalized drug that’s why …show more content…

Some places are very strict when it comes to enforcing that law while others are very lenient. Today more and more people are deciding to side with pro marijuana legalization for America. People that never give marijuana legalization chances are very bias. There are many reasons why people support marijuana legalization is because the medical use. Also people may support it because it could help bring down our crime rate with drug related cases. Other courtiers such as Amsterdam and Canada are legalized marijuana users so that should make us want to be …show more content…

But there still is other things bad with the legalization is that it could get into hands of minors and no telling how that would be able to handle those type of chemicals. So this should still be thought out and gone through all the pro’s and con’s of this drug before they make a final decision.
All in all I still think the drug should be legal. I don’t really see much harm it’s doing to the society. I could see if the world was just going crazy off of marijuana but that’s not the case. People actual like to enjoy, sit back and smoke their marijuana. People shouldn’t want something not to be legal just because they don’t like it. If they don’t like the drug then don’t use it.
Don’t interfere with other people’s lives just because yours is not satisfied. In my opinion the government hasn’t legalized marijuana because they haven’t fully figured out a way to put taxes on it. Many people think marijuana is similar to alcohol back in the day when they was selling it illegal and it became legal 1933 the day is coming soon for marijuana to be

People saw only what alcohol can do negatively to people back in the 1920s-1930s which caused people to view the drink negatively, and that's also what happened with Marijuana. People see marijuana negatively only because teenagers tend to abuse it for a fun Friday night or for the feeling. Marijuana has real positive results when use medically. The fight against prohibition just proved that we cannot limit what people can and cannot do to be under the influence when positive effects are involved. When people drink, it doesn't have to be because of alcoholism, and when people smoke, it doesn't have to be just to ¨get high¨. Marijuana also has many benefits we don't even know about yet, and if it gets legalized widespread across the United States imagine how much we will be able to discover about it and its uses just from human curiosity.

I’m not sure why exactly why the people want marijuana to stay illegal but from what I found is that they don’t think that it meets the medicine standards. Furthermore, they also think that it will jeopardize the youth and will soon become the “big tobacco” and what they mean by this is that the legalization is bound to be controlled by big, for-profit corporations. In my opinion I think that marijuana should be legal for many reasons. For one, if we were to legalize marijuana recreational it would save us 13.7 billion dollars a year, so therefore, the United States would easily be out of debt.
