As we all know marijuana is Illeagal in the united states. The rational behind these laws is that marijuana can lead to hard drug use, and that marijuana is a dangerous drug.
It is my intent to discuss these myths and to show that our current marijuana laws are unconstitutional.
MYTH Everyone knows that marijuana causes hard drug use. The government proved that back in the 1970's.
While it is true that in a government survey among those imprisoned on charges related to hard drug use over eighty percent of hard drug users reported having used Marijuana,
it is also true that in the early nineteen eighties N.O.R.M.L.(the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) did a survey of it's members that showed that less than twenty percent of Marijuana users use hard drugs.
Many of us ingest substances in our day to day lives that can cause harm to our bodies including cholesterol rich foods, Nicotine, and Alcohol.
Caffeine is physically addictive, as are Nicotine and Alcohol.
