Marijuana should be legal. I'm in favor of legalizing marijuana because cigarettes are legal and they kill more people. I also think marijuana should be legal because its legalized in places like California and nobody has died from it. Another reason why i'm in favor of legalizing marijuana because it helps relive stress and clear some peoples minds.

The first reason why i'm in favor of legalizing marijuana because its legal in places like California and it hasn't ruined the world, nobody has died from it. More people died from eating unhealthy than getting high.

The second reason why i'm in favor of legalizing marijuana is because marijuana helps relieve stress. When some one is all stressed out you can connect them to the waveform or EEG machine and it is scientifically proven that marijuana reduces stress.

Lastly, I think that marijuana should be legal because cigarettes are legal and cigarettes kill more people. Annual american death caused by tobacco 435,000 and the cause of death cause by marijuana 0. Marijuana does contain more tar than tobacco but one low tar cigarettes cause just as much cancer.

Some may say that marijuana is a bad influence on children life's. Some people feel this way because they believe if kids see their role models smoking pot their going to follow in there foot steps and think its okay to start smoking also. I disagree because some kids see their parents smoking cigarettes and that doesn't mean its okay for them to smoke. I believe it's up to the parents to teach their kids right form wrong.

Other's may also say that marijuana should be illegal because the effects of marijuana use include memory loss, trouble with thinking and problem solving or decrease in muscle strength. I disagree however because marijuana is not guaranteed to make you loose your memory or having problems thinking and solving problems or decrease in muscle strength. Even successful people use marijuana for example althelts and rapper's use this drug they also exercise their muscles or their brain every day by working out or reading instead of sitting on their behinds eating junk food.
