Pot Should Be Legal

 

      Putting regular people in jail for using marijuana is ridiculous.  It should be a choice that a free person is allowed to make.  Alcohol is more intoxicating and cigarettes are more dangerous, but they are legal.  We spend billions of dollars to stop marijuana.  How many lives does it save?  None!  As a matter of fact, more people are killed BECAUSE marijuana is illegal!  Look at the statistics and you will see that no one dies because of marijuana use.  And that old crap about marijuana use leading to worse drugs is absurd.  Couldn't the same thing be said about alcohol?

 

      We don't need to use the economic problems of our country as a reason to make pot legal.  But, we could save billions in enforcement and open up prison space, AND collect tax revenue for treatment for addiction.  Let's put the Mexican drug lords out of business!
