<b>Legalize it!</b> I don't smoke it anymore, I used to smoke it a lot in high school, but then I stopped for certain reasons.
Pot doesn't make you angry, violent, do things you don't remember and so on. It just chills you out. You drive better and your senses are heightened, it makes you hungry and sleepy and you get a weird feeling in your head. That's IT. You don't go out and kill people or beat people, no one has ever heard of such as case. However; alcohol makes people do such things. Alcohol is much worse than marijuana.
Watch Reefer Madness, back in the day, pot was made out to be this killer drug that was evil and made you do terrible things. A lot of people were smoking it, not just kids. Society was about to change dramatically, and the government didn't like that. It created this giant fear of marijuana that is still here today. There's not much to be afraid of, it's a plant. Cigarettes have thousands of chemicals, pot has few.
Legalizing it would put a stop to a lot of illegal smuggling; however, I think it would be hard to regulate because it can be grown so easily. Another hard thing about it is if it is legalized, control on harsher drugs such as cocaine would be harder because of less control on illegal smuggling.
It would reduce crime. Think about it, no dealers on the street (unless they are dealing cocaine or crack, which would be easy to tell what they are up to because most deal marijuana) , no shootings because someone ripped someone off, people would just chill out and I think crime would drop.
Those are just some opinions, take it easy on me, it's 4:30am, I'm getting ready for work and it's hard to wake up
