Marijuana Bryce Evason

Marijuana is a hot topic in American society today. There are good points raised by both sides and it is hard to disagree with both but the side that is against the legalization of marijuana has some other things that they need to fix before they can justify the points that they are making. Cigarettes have been a legal government owned product for a very long time in America. Marijuana is not obviously a legal substance that is owned by the government. The effects of cigarettes then have been proven to be ten times worse than the effects of marijuana but the later remains the substance that is illegal. Also the issue of alcohol is a big deal as well since the long term effects of alcohol also out way the long term effects of marijuana, and again the later is the substance that is illegal. The system seems a little messed up to me. If the government would legalize marijuana it would stimulate the economy because it could be a government owned business like cigarettes that would make the country money.
