Re: Legalize Marijuana?
they have scientific evidence that shows that marijuana is a LOT less harmful than tobacco and alcohol. they let people buy those, which are very much more likely to kill you, and that doesn't make sense to me. it should first be legalized especially for medical purposes, they prescribed tablets of it to my grandpa when he had cancer to get him to eat something and that probably made him live longer than he would have. but i think it should be legalized in general too, but with the same restrictions as tobacco and alcohol have placed on them.
i think what people need to remember with this is that just because it is legal, it doesn't mean everyone is going to start using it or that you have to. there are plenty of people who choose not to use any kind of tobacco or alcohol, even though they may certainly be allowed to. also, just because something is illegal, clearly doesn't mean people are going to stop using it. why do you think they stopped the prohibition of alcohol so many years ago, for example?
