Legalizing Marijuana
NORML v. Anti-Marijuana Groups
NORML's view
- 1st Amendment - everyone has the right to pursuit happiness
- Not addictive
- Marijuana has medical purposes
Anti-Marijuana Groups
- Legalizing something, doesn't make it right
- It won't lower crime, you're just taking 1 crime away
- Find the chemical in pot that cures diseases and use that to cure them
My view:
- Marijuana is less addictive than caffeine
- It cures diseases
- Helps with depression and anxiety
- It's not a gateway drug
- It can be taxed, which benefits the government
