Argument for the Legalization of Marijuana
Marijuana Should Be Legalized!
More people die from car accidents while under the influence of alcohol than people under the influence of Marijuana.
Smoking tobacco causes more cancer and diseases than the use of Marijuana Even though Marijuana smokers tend to hold in the smoke longer. Smoking tabbaco is legal so what makes weed so much worse?
If the USA were to legalize to recreational use of Marijuana than it would improve our economy. The United States government could tax the buying, selling and trading of pot. The reason why tobacco is legal is just because of all the money that the government gets from taxing it.
If it was legal than there would be less crime. The reason for this is because police try so hard to stop the use of weed but it still happens so the police spends allot of there time trying to catch recreational users of Marijuana. The police should spend there time catching murders and other criminals that are actually doing harm unlike the average pot smoker who's just having a good time. If the police spent there time trying to convince and illustrate people by the media and magazines that marijuana is harmful is much better than they ambush marijuana smokers, because when you just ambush them with out showing them the side effects or the harm of smoking marijuana, if it is really harmful.
"More than 700,000 Americans were arrested on marijuana charges last year, and more than 5 million Americans have been arrested for marijuana offenses in the past decade. Almost 90 percent of these arrests are for simple possession, not trafficking or sale." © 2006 NORML
"According to recent statistics provided by the federal government, nearly 80 million Americans admit having smoked marijuana. Of these, twenty million Americans smoked marijuana during the past year. The vast majority of marijuana smokers, like most other Americans, are good citizens who work hard, raise families, pay taxes and contribute in a positive way to their communities. They are certainly not part of the crime problem in this country, and it is terribly unfair to continue to treat them as criminals." © 2006 NORML
"The majority of epidemiological and animal data demonstrate that the reinforcing properties of marijuana in humans is low in comparison to other drugs of abuse, including alcohol and nicotine. According to the U.S. IOM, fewer than one in 10 marijuana smokers become regular users of the drug, and most voluntary cease their use after 34 years of age. By comparison, 15 percent of alcohol consumers and 32 percent of tobacco smokers exhibit symptoms of drug dependence." © 2006 NORML In conclusion Marijuana isn't very addictive in comparison.
There should be a limit to how much Marijuana that a person could carry and they should have to be at least 21. Plus there should be a large fine for anyone under the influence of weed while driving or operating machinery just like the laws on the use of alcohol.

POT!!!!!!! SMOKER EMC-2 MOTHER FUCKERS
they were they ones who stood up against the british. and there silly little laws. its time we stand for whats right. you cant stop us all. look at the boston tea party. well guess what history repeats its self. just now its cigarettes. 10 dollars. its cheaper to buy pot. and it last longer. indians have smoked it for centurys. and look where they are now half of them own hotles casinos malls. they have always been about peace. and using everything to its fulliest. you think some indian would have thought to use the bones from a deer to cut stuff with out pot or warm clothes. it would have taken years before some one figured that out.

Smoke it up, dude.
yeah man i totaly agree with you man,and i just signed the petion. but accept for the part that it should be 21 but if it works best that way for the government I guss i can wait 2 more years I'm only 19. just as long as it's legal,and we can help stop the drug war in jurez.

Thankyou, I'm glad you feel the same and it is true, FREEDOM isn't FREE!
A friend in weed is a friend in deed, how are you fixed? It is a bit dry out here! I am crazy and I find it is the only thing that keeps me on an even keel. I have been given every anxiety pill you could imagine but they all have terrible side effects. I have been in love with Mary Jane for 30 years and have written many a tribute to her. It will be a long time before it is even decriminalized here as it is at home.(UK) I miss that about home. It is just one example, for me, of how Americans are very much, NOT FREE. I miss walking down the street with a spliff in my hand and nobody to bother me, but we all have our cross to carry, mine is to affect the core of society, lest it, as a super power, drag us all back into the dark ages. Keep talking about it, it is the only way forward. I always like to see articles about the love of my life.
