Here I am writing on the topic "Should marijuana be legalized in the United States?" Since 1961, marijuana has been obtained illicitly in the United States, but in the 2012 elections, voters in Colorado and Washington decided they wanted to change that. Marijuana has extremely valuable medical use for patients suffering from certain terminal illnesses. It also has a highly valuable industrial use with the cultivation of hemp from the cannabis plant. Along with this, marijuana is also a fun narcotic used by many to create a fun social environment among friends. Legalizing marijuana would create it, so law enforcement could stop wasting time on nonviolent marijuana users and pay it to find $64,000 criminals in the United States. There are some arguments from people who want marijuana to be legalized. Keywords: - Marijuana, United States, Narcotics, Legalization, Social effects, Disease, Violence. Should marijuana be legalized in the United States? When we were little, most people were told, "Drugs aren't good for you," over and over again. . My parents told me that medicines are dangerous to your health when I was a child. However, as I got older, I realized that people would continue to use the medicine even if it is not suitable. I may never understand why some individuals go against the law and put their lives at risk simply to use drugs? The drug I am about to refer you to is marijuana, and surprisingly it is found throughout the United States. Marijuana is defined in today's media as people-pleasing media sources, such as music, movies, and television shows, who don't even bother to get the drug out of their system. I wonder: why is marijuana illegal? The controversy... middle of paper... resources and also the undeniable fact that it has been decriminalized in a couple of states. All these points are connected to each other and have a direct impact on the United States in a very positive way. The push for marijuana use is just a series of dominoes about to be hit. In the near future, will America be able to tolerate the use of marijuana for its citizens and will America once again improve their mental attitude? References1.
