It is such a waste to take all the time to arrest and send to prison anything to do with marijuana...I am all for legalizing it so we cAN tax it, buy it and enjoy, like alcohol, but if we don't, then butts and lliquoir should also be illegal....

Answer 2

Who knows, your mother is partly right though. If the government could get their hands in the mix, you can be sure it would be legalized and controlled. Despite the government issues, I dont see why it shouldn't be legalized. In my opinion, alcohol is a lot more deadly and bad for you health wise than pot. I think a person could drive a car much better under the influence of pot than on booze.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Marijuana is killer drug, it shortens life spern, it derays people's minds and it energises people to commit criminal offence and it negatively affecting the societal brain and the economy of a nation. the illegality of marijuana cannot be over emphasised considering the above points. there is no government in its right thinking faculty that can legalise marijuana because it causes more harm than help.
