In order to produce and sell marijuana they would need people working in the fields planting , growing , and harvesting the marijuana plant. Although many people will take advantage of the harvest because they would want to consume it or sell on their own. In the united states many people don't have jobs because the government doesn't create them by legalizing marijuana it would create more jobs in the agricultural field. Although the government wouldn't pay as much but something is something.
There is many reasons why it should but there's also reasons why it shouldn't for examen it can cause anxiety for people who consume it often. It can also lead you to take any other synthetic drug due to the lack of having it in your system. People become addicted to this plant because either they use it to cure themselves or they use it for other reasons such as depression, anxiety and many other reasons. It also causes crime since it's not legalized because of the addiction.
In conclusion, I do want marijuana to be legalized for a good use, in other words for medical use. You never know when we will need it when being sick and maybe it's our only option to survive the illness we have. Maybe a lot of people are against it but they don't see it by the good way that it could save someone's

    Clearly legalizing cannabis is a good idea since it is a type of cure and painkiller, hasn 't killed anyone, is better and healthier than cigarettes, alcohol, and basically the rest of the legal medications. The American government has to start opening its eyes on the things that can help America be a better country and focus on the things that they already have but are not affecting America in a bad way. Now that I have proven why most of these people are trying to legalize marijuana and why it is a big deal in society right now, you can realize how it can (and is) a really good impact in our country. I think it is important for Americans and our government to give us the opportunity to try legalizing cannabis and try to do something about legal drugs (such as alcohol and cigarettes) in order to make America safer and healthier over the years. It won 't happen in a matter of seconds, it will take time, but would you rather live in a country that helps their people die or helps them actually live and enjoy a healthy…

    I believe that the benefits of legalizing marijuana outweigh the consequences. Aside from the obvious benefits of lowering crime and relieving the strain on the legal system, legalizing marijuana would generate tax revenue. The money could be put into an account separate from the general funds and used for a specific purpose, much in the way that the lottery funds are used to benefit education. The money generated from marijuana sales could be used to fund drug treatment programs for addicts and help them towards becoming responsible members of society. It could also help fund halfway houses and drug awareness programs in schools.…

To bring up another point, it is also incredible for stress relief, and it is also a useful sleep aid to those with trouble sleeping. The drug should be legalized or, if nothing else, decriminalized. Countless people have been thrown in jail for possession of small amounts of one of the least harmful drugs, and some have even received life sentences for it!…
