Why Not Legalize It?!

     Marijuana, many say how much of a bad thing it is while others feel its such a wonderful contribution to life. Why is it that marijuana is such a negative thing to today's society? Is it that the government cant gain control over it? Is it really that bad of a drug? Or is it the dealing? When you think about it, what is the real reasoning for why people see it as such a bad thing? 

    

    There is not 1 file on record where someone has died due to the use of smoking weed. To overdose fatally on marijuana you would have to smoke 40 000 times the amount required to get high. Say it takes about 2 "joints" to get high, that means you would have to smoke about 80,000 to overdose. Yes, you can pass out from being a little too high. But i'm pretty sure that you wont die. I feel that the government cant gain full control of marijuana so it'll be a while to even be fully considered legal. 

     People feel that weed can negatively affect you in many ways. In some ways it can, but many smart and successful people have/does smoke weed. For example, President Obama even smoked "Mary Jane." Rihanna & Lady Gaga also, they are some of the biggest pop stars/singers in the world and they smoke plenty of weed. If you know your history, back in the times of when George Washington was president, weed was kind of a big thing in society. There are so many successful people who smokes "ganja." 

     "The government has tried to use criminal penalties to prevent marijuana use for over 75 years and yet: marijuana is now used by over 25 million people annually, cannabis is currently the largest cash crop in the United States"   So why not legalize it? It could create many jobs and help pay America's debt. Crime rates would be lowered and have less crowded jails which is a huge problem in America.

     So why not just legalize it?
