Smoking weed should be legalized in all of America.

"There are no significant health benefits to cannabis, unless it is used specifically for health reasons." True, but I never really said they have any health benefits, I have only stated they have benefits. While weed does not in fact have any significant health benefit, it does have other significant benefits, and it does not generally harm you as long as you don't abuse it. It also has more benefits than negative effects. As stated in my previous arguments, smoking weed has many benefits, such as boosting revenue, creating more effective law enforcement, and allowing patients to use medical marijuana. With these benefits, weed does have negative effects, but only a small amount of them, which will only take action if you abuse the drug. This means weed would benefit society and the economy more than harm it, and that is why weed should entirely replace cigarettes, which is my main argument; if cigarettes and alcohol are already legal, why not just replace cigarettes with weed since cigarettes are completely harmful and weed is mostly beneficial? I would like to see you disprove this point with some evidence, Con. http://www.businessinsider.com... "That, combined with the fact that as you saw in my first argument, Fatal crashes involving drivers who recently used marijuana doubled in Washington after the state legalized the drug, shows this is far more dangorus then any health benifets you may find." Yes, but smoking cigarettes causes 1 in every 5 deaths in the U.S. every year. This is another reason why smoking weed should be legalized and cigarettes should be banned. Marijuana can have bad effects, but they are far better than the effects of smoking cigarettes or drinking alcohol. So, if we replace cigarettes with weed, less harm and more benefits will be done to America, no matter the effects of marijuana. https://www.factslides.com... "For those trying to quit weed, it may be much harder for them if it is legal and out in the open. I can attest to that with my ex drug addict sister, who moved across the country to get away from it and the people she did drugs with." So you are saying that it easier for people to quit smoking weed since it is illegal and not out in the open? Well that means if we make cigarettes or alcohol illegal, then it will be easier for the addicts to quit, making this a solution to the entire problem. Therefore, we can legalize weed, benefiting America entirely, and ban cigarettes, also benefiting America entirely. "Allowing weed into society also is quite unfair to the autistic population and other populations that may be in some way vulnerable to smoke." Everybody is vulnerable to smoke, not any certain populations. But to eliminate the problem of second-hand smoking, the government can enforce rules by putting signs that say "No Smoking" in locations where many people are often, or creating locations specifically for weed-smokers. In summary, weed has a couple negative effects, but ultimately more benefits, and won't really harm you if you don't abuse the drug. Smoking cigarettes has many negative effects, and ultimately no benefits, and will harm you even if you don't abuse it. This is why it would be beneficial to replace cigarettes with weed, rather than ban weed and allow people to smoke cigarettes, harming the country far more than benefiting it. And while second-hand smoking is a problem, it can be prevented with many solutions such as creating locations specifically for weed-smoker, or putting "No Smoking" signs in normally crowded locations.
