In conclusion, marijuana should be legalized nationally for both recreational and medical reasons because there are so many positive outcomes within decriminalizing the drug. Marijuana is a natural herb, and it is less dangerous than many other legal substances.

Any independent person who looks into the scientific research should conclude that there is no practical reason for keeping it illegal. Marijuana should be legalized and regulated.

Hemp, marijuana’s highly mischaracterized sister plant, has unbelievable economic potential as well.…
Marijuana has become more of a popular drug lately as a result of of the huge debates over legalizing it for medical use. Although several people are for this idea, they have no idea of what marijuana can do.

It would provide many jobs for individuals and help the government. Having marijuana legal would provide jobs for people such as the grower, owning a dispensary and delivery services. Aside from providing hundreds of jobs for Americans, the government would also greatly benefit, by taxing marijuana. In states such as Colorado, they are making an insane about of money simply by taxing it. “In Colorado,” marijuana is “outpacing revenue from alcohol taxes” (Basu).…

In a country whereby the most highly harmful drug available which is legal, the British government’s official scientific body on drug policy concluded that [legally regulated drugs] alcohol and tobacco are “significantly more harmful than marijuana.”, is regulated, sold and taxed is there for individuals to buy then surely a system can be placed whereby cannabis can be decriminalised and used in proportion for that countries individuals. Although the investigation was done in the UK, Irelands and the UK’s drinking and drug habits would be about the same, just on a bigger scale in the UK because of the size of population, however that should not deteriorate what the investigation is suggesting. Having systems in place whereby a set amount is allowed to have in possession without being charged for an offence will better the society as we have already seen with the countries that decriminalised cannabis. What is needed from the government in order for Ireland to have cannabis decriminalised as well as taking steps to deal with the issue, is the need for perspective in terms of dealing with this as a social concern for the country rather than…
Marihuana is a drug that is becoming more popular as the days pass but many people still believe it should stay illegal just like the way many people believe it should be legalized. If marijuana was to stay illegal its causes and effects would remain the same, if it were to be legalized the causes and effect would vary from the ones right now but many causes and effects would continue to be discussed.

In our world we all are entitled to our own opinion and our own rights. In my opinion, I believe marijuana should become legalized everywhere. People hear the word “illegal” and assume the worst assumption of of something that is not entirely a big deal. Legalizing the drug would lower the rate of arrests for it and lower the risk of gangs and drug selling when people could just buy it instead. Yes, the drug itself does have negative effects but, it also has very good effects that come with it.…
Marijuana should be Legal The legalization of marijuana is a huge topic of debate in our country. I think the main issue with the acceptance of marijuana is each person’s upbringing and lifestyle. Most believe this is a bad drug because that is how we were raised, with little research. My hope is that this information will open your eyes to the facts of marijuana.…
I strongly believe that marijuana needs to be legalized at both the state and federal levels. I feel that way because it’s no worse than alcohol in my eyes. Alcohol has been a huge problem- drunk drivers swerving everywhere on the roads and hitting people, just for the drunk driver to walk away. Marijuana does alter people’s cognitive abilities, but I don’t think it’s any worse than alcohol. I think some people that have decided against cannabis doesn’t understand what it can do for…

Marijuana is not the issue, the issue is that people use marijuana in the wrong way. The article “going to pot” it states Marijuana is more popular and accessible in the U.S. than any other street drug. In national surveys, 48 percent of Americans say they have tried it, and 6.5 percent of high school seniors admit to daily use. So it was not too surprising when two states, Washington and Colorado, became the first to legalize recreational marijuana in the November 2012 general election, albeit in limited quantity, for anyone over the age of 21. ( Khamsi,2013) Marijuana should be legalized because if the government was to give the world access to the drug it would cut down crimes.…
