I'm no friend to marijuana. I've never used it, don't like the smell of it, and generally don't like the subculture around it. But with that said, the persecution of this fairly minor activity messes up too many lives and wastes too many of society's resources.Ultimately it is no worse to society than alcohol consumption, and I'm not in favor of banning alcohol either.But hold people accountable for impairment and disruption. If you are caught driving a car high it should be punished just like driving one drunk.

Marijuana should be legalized because it can reduce "settling things" in the streets related to drug disputes.

Debate: PD8: Legalizing Recreational Marijuana
Side: Marijuana should be legal.

Marijuana should be legalized solemnly due to the fact that it will reduce the amount of people in jail for nonviolent crimes. We will not have such a big of an issue of crowding in prisons and jails. Also, the amount of money and time that is put into arresting a person with small amount of marijuana on them has cost more than 3.6 billion dollars and it can take many officer to arrest and book a suspect. However, now that marijuana is legal in a few states, people are still getting arrested for possession. Their circumstances may differ, before, anyone with the smallest amount of marijuana on them could have been arrested. Now, people who are being arrested are who are surpassing the legal limit to carry on them which may be lead to believe that their intent is to sale. Overall, arresting people for carrying around small amounts of marijuana is time consuming for everybody, especially cops which is keeping them off the streets and from stopping a drunk driver or chasing a burglar, it is also very expensive to throw them into jail.
