1. Should Marijuana Be Legalized?
How long has mankind been smoking cannabis? As far as we know, since man has been on the planet. However, since around 1937 it has been outlawed in America. It is amazing that America has studied the effects of cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, in scientific control environments. Yet to apply the same scientific regiment to the use of marijuana is against the law? How will we ever find out if it can be used socially? As you would not give a child alcohol, cigarettes, or marijuana, the prior two are legal for adults. .

It's only by getting it put on the ballot, and allowing democracy to vote on whether or not its citizens would like this item legalized. .
Amendments and proper taxation would make legalizing marijuana part of boosting the local economy. And when the economy is good because America is making money on itself, then Americans benefit from better Social Security, medicinal uses for marijuana, social relaxation like alcohol and tobacco after a hard day's work.
