Marijuana is less harmful then any other drug that is used. Like cigarettes, it damages your lungs. Marijuana would do a little damage, but would not cause lung cancer. Drinking is bad as well. Drinking is worse than anything, but people still drink knowing that it does harm them. Marijuana should be legalized.
I agree because there isn't any reports of anyone dying because of weed. Alcohol and cigarettes have killed millions of people, marijuana has killed none.
Yes it should be legal because of safety control reasons. People could be buying from sellers who are lacing the marijuana without the buyer knowing which can be dangerous. If there were businesses there wouldn't be as much worry.

The medical use of marijuana is outstanding and people try to argue that is has many bad affects on the body, but many people still drink and smoke which both are completely legal and do far more harm to your body than marijuana could ever do
Marijuana, through research, is showing some promise in treating illnesses and helping people cope with pain. If people actually need it you may as well not make it harder for them. Why make them suffer?
Weed is far less harmful than any other drug as most other drugs can lead to death from the drug itself while marijuana has not been linked to many if not any deaths at all
Marijuana should be legal. since it is a very popular drug that no matter how many times people will try to stop it from being consume it will always be consume by people. their is really no point in using a lot of money to stop it. all that money just goes to waist. instead money should be given to businesses that research it so it can be used as a medical drug to help patients with their problems.

I'm no friend to marijuana. I've never used it, don't like the smell of it, and generally don't like the subculture around it. But with that said, the persecution of this fairly minor activity messes up too many lives and wastes too many of society's resources.
Ultimately it is no worse to society than alcohol consumption, and I'm not in favor of banning alcohol either.
But hold people accountable for impairment and disruption. If you are caught driving a car high it should be punished just like driving one drunk.
Marijuana should be legal because it would reduce the amount of prisoners. prisons would be less full and police teams that hunt down drugs can focus more on the harmful drugs, like heroin or meth.
I agree, it will save officers time from arresting people for small amounts of marijuana, therefore allowing the officers to stay on the streets to catch burglars, dealers, and many other people doing harm.
Marijuana should be legalized because it can reduce "settling things" in the streets related to drug disputes. If someone pulls something over on you in a drug exchange, you of course cannot go to the police or get a lawyer to help you. Instead, people have to handle it themselves, leading to an endless cycle of crime and violence in the streets.
Weed should be legalized to express personal freedom. Of course there are a few negative sides to marijuana, but everyone should have a right to want to use it or not based on their morals, decisions, and beliefs.

Marijuana should be legalized solemnly due to the fact that it will reduce the amount of people in jail for nonviolent crimes. We will not have such a big of an issue of crowding in prisons and jails. Also, the amount of money and time that is put into arresting a person with small amount of marijuana on them has cost more than 3.6 billion dollars and it can take many officer to arrest and book a suspect. However, now that marijuana is legal in a few states, people are still getting arrested for possession. Their circumstances may differ, before, anyone with the smallest amount of marijuana on them could have been arrested. Now, people who are being arrested are who are surpassing the legal limit to carry on them which may be lead to believe that their intent is to sale. Overall, arresting people for carrying around small amounts of marijuana is time consuming for everybody, especially cops which is keeping them off the streets and from stopping a drunk driver or chasing a burglar, it is also very expensive to throw them into jail.

2nd hand smoking is still dangerous, and you can still get high off second hand smoke around weed, if it's legal then parents could still smoke around children accidently getting them stoned
Here is the end all argument.... People smoke marijuana to get high. And to get high means to alter your perception of reality. And people with an altered perception of reality should not be allowed to drive. We have enough people under the influence of alcohol on the roads without adding more impaired drivers.
Weed should be illegal because as messed up as it seems, drug dealers make a living off of it. So if weed becomes legal, dealers would lose out on a lot of money and poverty rate would rise.

Smoking is not the only way recreational marijuana may be used there is other things such as edibles either way if it is as dangerous than tobacco should also be banned
