The debate to legalize marijuana has been going on for some time now. Some people take it super seriously and some people are just laid back about the whole argument. I am pro legalizing marijuana. Many people all around the world have smoked marijuana. No one is forcing them to smoke, it is there choice to inhale the drug. Marijuana has been known to help cure terminally ill people. Such as AIDS victims, people with glaucoma, and cancer patients.
It helps the AIDS victims stimulate their appetites to fight off dangerous emaciation. Glaucoma sufferers use marijuana to help prevent them from going blind and helps cancer patients deal with there severe nausea that often comes with chemotherapy. Marijuana can cause some short term memory loss but only while under the influence. Long term memory loss does not come with smoking the drug. Neither does it lead to harder drugs. Marijuana does not cause brain damage, genetic damage, or damage the immune system.
Unlike alcohol, marijuana does not kill brain cells or induce violent behavior. I read a poll online done by the United States government, National Institute on Drug Abuse, and the Bureau of Mortality Statistic that shows annual American deaths. Marijuana was last on the list with zero deaths. The pole said that tobacco caused 400,000, alcohol caused 100,000, all legal drugs caused 20,000, all illegal drugs caused 15,000, caffeine caused 2,000, and aspirin caused 500. I think more people should worry about the affects alcohol has on our body over the effects of marijuana.

I agree with you because people that are in need of this drug are looked down at because of the name. I feel as if there should be no rules to any of these kinds of illegal substances. Really, everyone does it either way. whether it is illegal or not kids will still get a hold of it. They either need to enforce the law or get rid of it because it is really not working. A lot of your points are very strong. I think that they really need to focus on both marijuana and alcohol.
