marijuana

SHOULD be legalized in the us. i dont smoke it, but i still stand behind this belief. 1.it is IMPOSSIBLE to overdose on pot, which is possible to do on other legal perscription medications 2.although smoking one joint is = to 7 or so cigarettes, the average smoker smokes WAY more cigarettes than the average pot smoker Pot smokers do not smoke 3 packs a day of pot. Usually only about 3 joints MAXIMUM are smoked per day. 3.Although it is still dangerous and could possibly cause injuries, things such as getting drunk and driving w/o a seatbelt are just as risky as getting high, although the former is legal and the latter is only enforced SOMETIMES with a small fine of about 100$ or so. 4.The amount of smokers/ former smokers who die each year from smoking related deaths: 440,000 The amount of pot users/ former pot users who die each year from pot related deaths: 0 you tell me which should be legal from those figures. 5.Respectable people such as Barack Obama have used pot (and do not give a thumbs down on this definition if you think obama is not respectable. thats just stupid to do that.) again, i have never used pot. i think it is not a smart thing to do, but that it should be legalized, just like tobacco.
