Even if it is harmful, like all the other legal things people consume, it comes down to the fact that legal or not it is that person's choice to smoke marijuana. If drugs weren't a factor of people's lives we wouldn't have medication at all. Whether it becomes legal or not it is still going to be highly available every single day.

Nicotine has been deemed more addictive than marijuana yet its legal and caffeine is imbedded in our everyday drinks and it is legal.

Marijuana should be legal because no one has ever died from marijuana overdose like they have with other drugs. Using marijuana could deter people from using harder drugs that could kill them

I agree that marijuana may impair your perception when doing things like driving

I agree with this and I honestly didn't think about it. Younger and younger children will get ahold of it and it can have a much worse affect on them than it could on adults.

Marijuana should not be legalized because it will mess up drug dealers' way of income and potentially lead them to sell harder drugs and distribute them out to the general public more. With everyone having access to marijuana man made drugs like spice will be on the rise and cause extreme health problems.

Marijuana should not be legal because is can be a gateway drug. People try marijuana and search for a bigger high leading to more life threatening drugs.

I agree with this because marijuana is prescribed for insomnia, anxiety, seizures and even stress that other medications just aren't fixing. The things we put into our bodies are all some type of drug but because they have different reputations and names they're acceptable. That's backwards.

Marijuana should be legal for both medical and recreational use because it can be used to treat disorders and diseases that people are and aren't aware of.

Things that are already legalized and have always been are extremely harmful to people. Cigarettes come with a warning that it may cause cancer yet it's a social norm to do as you please with them as well as alcohol consumption. People die from alcohol poisoning all the time yet when researching deaths from marijuana not much comes up. Marijuana isn't the drug that's killing people.

Recreational use would benefit more than medical use because it's easy to access and obtain. People could really need marijuana for medical uses and not be able to get it prescribed. Recreational use takes care of everyone in that sense.

I agree because not everyone that may need the medical use of marijuana can obtain it and most states in the Midwest do not have it legal in anyway. Marijuana should be legal for recreational and medical use because it's not going to help everyone that needs it if it is just medically legalized.
