Marijuana should be legalized

Now I am going to raise some points and arguments that I found during the research of the debate, to prove what I believe in- marijuana should be legal!

• About 37 million non-violent drug offenders get arrested by using marijuana in America, so by passing legislation to legalize marijuana can also free up our already overcrowded jail system and save the money that we use to keep those drug offenders in prison, which is about $30,000 per person per year. We would generate a tax revenue of $6.2 billion and save $7.7 billion in government expenditure if marijuana were legal. Because we currently spend 3.3 billions of dollars every year to chase marijuana users. So if marijuana were legal, we would have more money to spend on important problems, such as health care and education.
• Marijuana can be used as medicine to reduce pain from our body, especially for cancer and AIDS patients, which can helps to stimulate appetite and relieve nausea. Marijuana can also benefit 90% of glaucoma patients and is two to three times as effective as any current medicines. Marijuana also has less side effects caused by prescription drugs. So if marijuana is legal, it can use as a really good medicine for many diseases.
• Marijuana is popular in American high school, because the dealers don’t care how old you are as long as you have money. It is easier for many high schools students to obtain marijuana than it is for them to obtain alcohol, because alcohol is legal and therefore they have to keep away from kids. Also, people won’t spend too much money to buy marijuana if it is legal, because the dealers don’t have to be aware of the polices when they are selling it and people can plant marijuana as many as they want. So I think that the marijuana would be cheaper to buy if it is legal.

After reading all these statements and points, I think you might get the basic idea of why is it important to let marijuana be legal. There might be more powerful arguments for marijuana shouldn’t be legal, but whatever happens, I would always use one word to answer this problem- “Yes,” because it is really important to let marijuana to become a legal drug, and people, or even you would have many good opportunities and changes in your life if marijuana is legal. So consider the problem again, and support me to let marijuana become a legal drug. Thank you very much.
