marijuana?

Let me make one thing clear, I do not smoke or condone smoking of marijuana. I believe everyone in entitled to their own choices and do not look poorly on anyone for such choices. I’m sure that you have all heard the whole why marijuana should be legalized spiel. Well let me tell you why it should not be legalized and should stay the way it is.  If you were to legalize marijuana then you could make stuff from hemp. Some things include, paper, clothes, and a lot of other products that are useful.  But hemp would make other companies go out of business because you don’t want to make things to cheap then they make no money.   Also if you were to legalize marijuana then government would be able to tax it. With so many people smoking marijuana this could drastically help out our nation’s deficit! But I guess a few trillion dollars in debt isn’t too bad right? If you made it legal what would we do with all of that extra money? We couldn’t give people a job on a farm to help out the unemployment rate because then no one needs the Medicaid.  With all of these people getting jobs we wouldn’t want them to spend too much money because then we are messing up what our country was founded on, borrowing money. 

                Medicine, we all need it at some point in our lives.  If marijuana was legal it would be almost too easy to use as medicine.  I know that when my brother had cancer he was put on medical marijuana of a sort. Man he got the munchies like crazy, he could eat four beefy 5 layer burritos from taco bell fast. But it helped him so no one complained!  Marijuana can help patience so let’s keep them suffering so that they don’t get better.  Because let’s face it, with less sick people the hospitals wouldn’t be needed and that’d be a bummer for all of those doctors.  We can all get a prescription for Vicoden though which some kids use as a drug that’s a lot better than marijuana. Yeah making marijuana legal sure looks crappy, we definitely don’t want to do that.

                Now let’s look at why it should be legal, you don’t have to worry about petty criminals in jail because they were caught selling weed.  With less people in prison our tax dollars don’t pay for the inmate’s expenses. This would save us a lot of money in the long run because we aren’t on drug patrol as much as the cops can be looking for real criminals.  With marijuana being legal you could get some companies money because their junk food would sell with everyone being hungry all the time.  You could also find a way to turn the profits from the tax like the profits from tobacco are used for schools.  It seems like a good way to raise tax and to keep our tax dollars from being wasted on prisons I think.
