the legalization of marijuana

well to start, im sick of getting arrested for carrying at least an ounce of mary jane on me....its not right so thats why today i argue that we should legalize marijuana in illinois. many or everyone in illinois would agree, "yes the economy sucks and we need to fix it" -average american and now we must take a stand. marijuana has done many great things for us given us a perspective of things in this world that a regular normal life would not give us. time magazine states In fact, the default fate of any politician who publicly considers the legalization of marijuana is to be cast into the outer darkness. this may in fact be true because many of the things that america has tried to do for us by giving us the economic stimulus package and so many bailouts we have to owe ourselves for it.... but our solution has been smoked for over a few thousand years and boy we really need pots help now. many politicians would be looked at as bad people bc of the legalization but many politicians see that it could help boost the economy. by putting taxes on pot it would be a good thing to everyone. giving the opportunity for new legal marijuana jobs, also it would then take out many out of local or state prisons for marijuana smuggling or any marijuana activity and leave room for the ones who really need it *coughcough*(sex offenders) and we all agree the children are the future to America and now we need to give them a better future a brighter one at that. by legalizing marijuana we will in fact give them a better future over 25 million people smoke marijuana and it is the largest cash crop in the United States, and marijuana is grown all over the planet. so no need for the transportation of marijuana anywhere you can just grown it in your backyard or buy it. many drug dealers who are indeed black or hispanic and tend to reinforce the perception that law enforcement is biased and prejudiced against minorities. so in order to make America the land of the free and equal we need to legalize marijuana in order to have peace and also love because we will all be tranquil and happy. also many parents will be glad to know that by legalizing pot will be a good thing. why? well in a very nice and well mannered world they will sell pot at a nice price in the market which in many ways would be out of their pocket money reach. which would tell the teens who smoke to go out and get jobs...which in the end makes us all happy....parents with working teens and a nice economized U.S Marijuana's legalization would simplify the development of hemp as a valuable and diverse agricultural crop in the United States, including its development as a new bio-fuel to reduce carbon emissions. stated by http://www.alternet.org... yes this is all true and if canada and europe support this then we should as well. i mean we want a better way to save money on gas well hemp is the answer. and going on stated by the same person we see that "Prohibition is based on lies and disinformation. Justification of marijuana's illegality increasingly requires distortions and selective uses of the scientific record, causing harm to the credibility of teachers, law enforcement officials, and scientists throughout the country. The dangers of marijuana use have been exaggerated for almost a century and the modern scientific record does not support the reefer madness predictions of the past and present. Many claims of marijuana's danger are based on old 20th century prejudices that originated in a time when science was uncertain how marijuana produced its characteristic effects. Since the cannabinoid receptor system was discovered in the late 1980s these hysterical concerns about marijuana's dangerousness have not been confirmed with modern research. Everyone agrees that marijuana, or any other drug use such as alcohol or tobacco use, is not for children. Nonetheless, adults have demonstrated over the last several decades that marijuana can be used moderately without harmful impacts to the individual or society." we shall express ourselves in a better way than this yes our government lied to us about many things but by legalizing marijuana we will in fact learn to understand them and also they will fear us because we are a strong nation as a government for the people by the people and by the legalization of marijuana this nation will be strong yet again. oh and did i forget the medical uses well, no i didnt oh yeah medical marijuana is a good thing also many people can choose to stop the use of marijuana at any given time also it is a very good alternative if many people want to quit drinking. and with that i know wait for any opponent to challenge this topic.
