The Positive and Negative Sides

http://www.balancedpolitics.org/marijuana_legalization.htm

First, to start with, I do not want people to think I am some huge pothead that sits in my room all day and just lights up. But this topic has been going on for longer than I can remember, to legalize marijuana. Many people have their reasons why not to do it; children might get a hold of it, second hand smoke, addiction, leads to heavier drugs, and the list goes on for quite a long time. But at the same time people have their reasons why it should be legalized; the police force can focus on more serious drugs, medical benefits, there could be a regulation on how much could be consumed, people just enjoy it, and as long as the other list it goes on for a while. This topic can go on for years and years and who knows maybe eventually it will be allowed in at least some states, for more than just medical reasons. But until that time comes there will still be a number of debates and lots of politics will be involved.
