Legalize it in the United States already. Yes, marijuana. Drugwarfacts.org gives an overview of annual death rates in the United States and marijuana was at zero. Alcohol induced related deaths were at 25,692. So, why can alcohol be legal and marijuana is left out. There are no cases that prove drug overdose by marijuana, but alcohol poisoning can kill people who consume too much and do not get medical treatment.
Marijuana is being used for medical purposes, therefore generating business in the health industry. So many harmful drugs are legally prescribed such as Xanax and Amphetamines to help certain medical conditions and they have proven to be more addictive and can cause overdose. This makes me wonder why are they leaving out marijuana? Marijuana grows from the earths ground naturally.
Legalizing marijuana will gain a plethora of tax revenue and employment. Government controlled marijuana will boost American economy and help relieve debt.
The crime rate of buying and selling marijuana will come to an end. This will put more focus on crimes that are substantial. Criminalizing marijuana is petty considering the other drugs that walk the streets and cause death.
Welcoming marijuana has great benefits. It is a choice to consume it or not. With fair restrictions it will do more good than harm in the United States.
