The legalization of Marijuana is likely to have a more favorable impact than current policy

First I will analyze your argument. 1. How would lower street prices help? That means people will still go for the more dangerous version on the streets because it's cheaper dealers would not decrease they would increase. It's just like a bootleg DVD the quality may not be as good but it's cheaper. 2. We supposedly regulate alcohol and give stiff punishment to those who give alcohol to minors but it doesn't seem to be stopping minors from getting it how would this be any different? 3. Marijuana is just as much a harmful drug as all the others. A drug that affects your dopamine levels so that you're always content on how things are no matter how bad things are or how sick you are seems pretty dangerous to me. (I'll get into the deeper effects later. ) 4. There is no such thing as a safe environment when it comes to weed. If you get hooked it's over and if you have legal access to if you might as well give up your house and family now because if you're always happy and content you won't care about going to work, you won't care about what's going on in the family and you won't care about life because you'll be to busy being happy. 5. I'm skipping your fifth argument the ban is perfect but I don't feel like elaborating. 6. Who's going to do the regulation and taxes when there all high. 7. One although weed is illegal for use it has not hampered studies of this and other now banned drugs for future pharmaceutical use, and two the only thing this drug can be used for in medicine is for pain relief and should still be used only in the worst of the worst situations. 8. There are lots of different options out there that aren't pharmaceutical all of the little herbs, spices, and snake oils which have been proven to work and aren't illegal. And even though the drugs you have listed do have their problems so does weed. I mean at least those don't make you think the sky is purple down is up and that signs are staring at you. 9. That is an over exaggeration most prescription medicine is not shared with the family partially because of the cost and partially because with medicine what makes one better makes another sick that's just how it works for the most part the only things that are shared are weak painkillers and allergy medicine. 10. Yes it would free up 60,000 jail cells but fill many more hospital beds and graves because even though it's almost impossible to overdose the weed can still hurt you and others indirectly for example: •Any person with a touch of schizophrenia or bipolar disorder would wig out whether they smoked the weed or inhaled the second hand smoke because of their chemical imbalance and the dopamine inducing effect of the drug. And since some of them are violent this could end badly for them and those around them and don't for get about all the other mental disorders that go undiagnosed and untreated. •It get's rid of stress and though that may sound good think about it what keeps you going? Being relaxed without a care in the world, No STRESS DOES! ! If we lost all stress nothing would get done and that includes the things needed to keep the house and feed yourself you cold starve your self to death and never know. That is dangerous probably the most dangerous side effect there is. •Lack of judgment can lead to accidents in the workplace, at home, and on the streets and highways and some will be deadly. Marijuana is a horrible drug all it does is warp the reality off the user and hides the real world from them if we legalize this drug kiss what remains of the U. S. A goodbye we don't know the meaning of restraint so making marijuana legal is like inviting anyone who wants to destroy us to come on because we're defenseless and if they don't get us our lack of will to work will crash our economy.
