I find it offensive that the government can tell us what substances can be used such as alcohol and tobacco, but marijuana is illegal when its not even a gateway drug. The reputation is much worst then the drug really is. One cant die from smoking it or get hurt other then lung problems and some mental ones way down the line. With alcohol one becomes a alcoholic with time, While marijuana just makes one hungry and ones lungs hurt, granted the lung issues are a negative downside. But on the other hand its a safer drug then the rest of them, and the worst that will happen to one from smoking marijuana is one will cough, get hungry, laugh, then go to sleep for a few hours. Most people believe the propaganda the government throws out there. But the truth is if they legalize and tax the substance, it will really boost out economy a fair amount. Plus its good stuff
