All drugs should be legal.

Should be legalized. Simple as that.

I'm against legalization. Bite me.

At this point anyone who argues that Marijuana should stay illegal yet is fine with Alcohol and Cigarettes staying legal is either extremely uninformed or an idiot(probably both). If we were to as a society objectively look at drugs(Alcohol and Cigarettes included) and rank them based on their inherent dangers, Weed would be near the very bottom well below Alcohol and Cigarettes. To put it simply, nobody has ever died as a direct result of smoking weed. Meanwhile Alcohol is responsible for over 75,000 deaths a year in the US alone, and Cigarettes are responsible for over 443,000 deaths each year in the US. The only logical reason marijuana remains illegal in the majority of the US is simply because of ignorance. This same ignorance is costing a country recovering from a recession billions of dollars in potential revenue.

Most people who think it should be legal have not done much research on the drug. And one of the major problems is that you can find websites claiming contradictory facts. You just need to filter out unreliable sources. Some people still believe that marijuana kills brain cells, which has been proven false. Infact, the opposite has been proven true. Marijuana use spurs brain cell growth in the hippocampus section of the brain. Not many, but some like to think marijuana will make you go insane. "Reefer Madness!". No, just no. Marijuana will not drive its users to insanity, however it does have the potential to bring out an early onset of mental illness in those predispositioned to said mental illness, like having a family history of schizophrenia, for example. As for marijuana making you stupid; there is a correlation between marijuana use and lower IQ. But correlation != causation. I am a daily marijuana user, and to answer the question "Does marijuana use make you less intelligent" honestly, I would say: In a way. Marijuana doesn't just make you lose information you had already learned. However, cannabis makes you very comfortable with what you have. It limits your inhibition to achieve new goals and accomplish things. So yes, in a way, it does make you lazy, just as others have claimed. But not really in the same sense of the word. This, coupled with the fact that there is a slight mind-haze 24 hours after the last use which SLIGHTLY limits your ability to take in and retain new information, could contribute to consistent marijuana users having a low IQ. As for physical effects, there really is not much to worry about. People say "Well inhaling any kind of burning material isn't good for you". Yes, but not all burning materials are created equal. Marijuana has less tar than tabacco, and has less carcinogenic compunds. The plant also has the amazing property of preventing some cancers and even limiting the growth of cancerous tumors. There is no link between marijuana and lung cancer.

How it it a healing plant?

And actually, [url=http://www.drugpolicy.org/drug-facts/10-facts-about-marijuana]only 42 percent of adults have reported using it.[/url] Just being nit picky.
