I do agree that taxing it could help alleviate some of the
debt the state has, while also bringing in extra revenue to be used for the
benefit of the state and its citizens. But I don’t agree that people should be concerned
with the health risks it poses. There are so many more things out there that
are worse for you like caffeine and trans fats, and people take in all those by
the gobs full every day. In my opinion I think legalizing marijuana and having
it regulated if anything, would make it harder for minors to get their hands on.
I know that when I was growing up it was always harder to get beer and cigarettes
as opposed to some “pot,” because beer and cigs were legal and regulated.
In my research, the tests that have been conducted to see if
marijuana is indeed an addictive drug have all come back negative, and not one
shows any indication of the user at any point becoming addicted to “weed.” There
were no signs that the body or mind ever suffered from the daily use of
marijuana. When in fact there were tests done on the bodies of alcoholics and
long-term cigarette smokers that all concluded that there were serious health
issues that came from the continuing use of either alcohol or tobacco. All of
which are legal, so tell me……why can’t “pot” be?
