Smoking weed should be legalized in all of America.

I will start by addressing your alledged benifets; Boosting revenue,Yes, it does give the state more money. But that isn't an excuse for legal Poison, or companies take advantage of a self created mental illness. Nor does it make up for the high dealths on the road alone.Creating more effective law enforcement, I do not see how you expect that to work.And allowing patients to use medical marijuana. Medical marijuana is a separate issue, as I keep saying. It should be a prescription required medication and not given in the form of smoke to reduce negative effects. Medical is different than recreational.Cigarettes cannot be "Replaced" Those addicted are addicted to nicotine, not weed. They are a major problem, but the point of keeping weed illegal is to prevent a similar problem growing from that. Even if I felt that your three benefits were strong, of which I only see boosting revenue as a true benefit, weed is still mostly harmful. Any society that will take advantage of people in such a way as addiction is harmful.The constent dealths from ciggerettes is a problem of course, not to mention 53,800 people die every year from secondhand smoke exposure. But like I said, addiction is not easily replaced, so it is best to keep both out of peoples hands. https://www.cdc.gov...Do you want people to have to go through this when they try to quit?"I am a researcher at a university and have studied the effects of drugs, particularly alcohol, on the brain for the last decade or so. Like many of my friends and colleagues, I consider marijuana to be a relatively low-risk drug when used in moderation by responsible adults. However, I am now forced to admit that my view of the discontinuation syndrome was naïve and that I was completely unprepared for it myself: Week 1: Despite missing my evening smoking session and feeling some mild irritability, I felt fine. Week 2: Mild flu-like symptoms, which I assumed to be viral in nature though it did not exactly feel viral. No real desire to smoke marijuana. I assumed I was out of the woods and had gotten off easy. Week 3: Sudden onset of incredibly intense and vivid dreams. Profuse sweating at night. Difficulty discerning dreaming from waking state. Lack of energy. Upset stomach. Absolutely no appetite. Unable to focus. Saw my primary care physician. All labs normal. Week 4: This is where the real problems began for me. Sudden onset of intense, full body anxiety…. This led to complete insomnia for days. A very deep feeling of dread and a sense that I was going completely insane. Crying spells that came from nowhere…. Week 5: The intense anxiety slowly began to dissipate… was able to sleep for 4-6 hours a night, which is approaching normal for me. Appetite slowly came back but the thought of eating was unpleasant. Feeling of confidence began to return. Feelings of hopelessness and of going crazy began to diminish." -http://brainblogger.com...As I keep saying, cigarettes cannot be replaced by weed be cause an addiction to nicotine is much different to an addiction to weed. The best way to combat addiction in general is to put money into recovery programs. Should we ban tobacco? Yes, diffenity, but then doesn't mean we shouldn't keep weed banned.Second hand smoking isn't just a problem in public, inside private homes there is a secret victim. The smokers children. It is possible that exposure to weed second hand is worse than that of tobacco as well. Perhaps the only reason weed seems better is because of the lack of long term research.In denver, as I said, you cannot go far without running into someone with a joint, so it doesn't seem the government is working to control it much at all.When I mean more sensitive I mean more sensitive. With the smell sensitive autistic example, it can cause an off the bat autistic meltdown. They are painful, stressful, confusing, and can cause one to do one of three things out of their control, fight, flight or freeze. Smoke, weed or tobacco, can cause excruciating pain and fear.Flight could get someone hit by a car.For people with asthma smoke can cause an attack which could in some cases even be life threatening.https://www.drugabuse.gov...
