Marijuana should be legal. It’s that simple. There isn’t any evidence that smoking marijuana can kill you. If it could, then doctors and some psychiatrists would not prescribe it to people which they think truly need it. Besides it being helpful for patients with certain medical conditions, everyone already knows that, it could also be beneficial to our economy. Legalizing the use of marijuana for recreational use can create more job opportunities for so many people. Investors could benefit over a long period after more dispensaries get made. More money could be saved now that there is no need to criminalize those who use it or sell. Have you ever thought about how many people are arrested and put into jail because of marijuana? It’s a lot. In conclusion, all I’m saying is that everything would be a lot more simple if marijuana was legal for recreational use, don’t you think?
