I'm not sure how often this topic has been discussed in SFA, so I thought I would make a new thread about it.
The question is: Should Marijuana be legal or stay illegal in the US? If you determine it to be legal, should it be strictly for medical purposes, or be legal to everyone like cigarettes?
In my opinion, I believe Marijuana should become legal to everyone. Almost every person suffers from stress. Too much stress is never good, as everyone knows. Marijuana relaxes the body which in turn, reduces stress. Stress can cause harm on your body and other people also, both physically and mentally. Marijuana would relax your body from on the verge of going on a serial killer to being relax and chill.
One other point I would like to point out with making Marijuana legal, is that it would be taxable. Selling marijuana in gas stations, drug stores, etc would mean the government would be able to tax it, thus making the government being able to profit more money then it is now. Since marijuana is illegal in most states now, it means the only way marijuana would be sold would be on the streets. This means the government cannot tax it, thus making the government not able to bring in more profit in taxes.
