I need 3 strong arguments for legalization of marijuana?

Dumbs down the Populace

Gives youths an excuse to remain in their Parents Basement until they are 60.

Helps increase Fatal Car accidents.

Hope this helps.

1. Great influence on medical treatment.

2. Would remove the cash from the drug cartels.

3. Would clean out US prisons of non violent offenders.

People in my culture have been dealing with this issue

for over 200 years. We know a little about it.

in a free society drugs, alcohol and sex should be a personal choice, not a governmental.

it has been shown to help people medically.

keeping it illegal costs the usa a lot of money and has created huge criminal empires.

The reasons the Libertarians use are.

It doesn't hurt anyone but the person smoking it.

If we legalize it then the US prison population will drop significantly.

It is healthier than smoking cigarettes (not sure if this one is true but it is one of the reasons they give).

1. Dude!

2. We can't stop illegal weed sales and use, murders, or rapes, so lets just make them all legal.

3. Dude!

Resources aimed at enforcement of laws banning its use are ineffective at limiting its use.

Those resources would be better spent on other measures to limit use, similar to the way tobacco and alcohol have been handled.

The ban has limited legitimate research on its effects because MJ is not readily available to researchers who would do studies.

Lots of good info here.

It is not the burden of those for legalization to give their reasons. It is for the government to give viable reasons to justify its encroaching upon the rights of its citizens.

1. It is bad for the youth to be exposed to such a drug.

2. There is no beneficial use of Marijuana

3. Drugs are for losers
