Argument

Many people today debate the issue of whether or not smoking pot is a good or bad thing and if it should be legalized as well. I think smoking pot is not bad and should be legal. This is because it is less harmful than alcohol and cigarettes and it can be beneficial to people who need it for medicinal purposes. If it was legalized the government could put a tax on it like alcohol and cigarettes and this would help boost our economy. From what I have seen in documentaries and people using it, I have never seen anything bad from it like violence or or overdosing or anything like that. The worst side affects from it to my knowledge is sometimes just a slower reaction time and a slow short term memory. There are medical benefits from it such as relief of nausea and interlobular pressure for people with glaucoma, muscle spasticity and pain caused by multiple sclerosis just to mention a few.
