Marijuana: Good or Bad?

The issue of legalizing marijuana has been prevalent among the United States population today. I am arguing that it should be legalized, but under certain conditions. This drug is as potent as cigarettes and they’re legalized. It’s more likely to get addicted to alcohol than it is marijuana. It’s very rare to overdose on this drug as well. Street drug-related crime is getting to be completely ludicrous. It’s more out of hand today than it ever has been. Marijuana is one of the biggest illegal drugs sold on the street and if it were legalized, a lot of the crime rates would decrease. It enables the government to step in and help those who need it. The price of the drug would go down because it’s already so expensive to sell, produce, grow it, etc. Violence tends to ensue when a drug deal goes wrong, this would also decrease because the government would be able to step in. Marijuana isn’t linked to causing cancer, but it is for helping it. It gives off bad health risks in the long run, if used more than usual, but that’s like any other item that’s consumed irregularly.
