    The law against the legalization of Marijuana.
    Has destroyed the lives of alot of non violent people.
    Making criminals out of
    people whos only crime was smoking or possessing and growing a little pot to support themselves during these financual times.
    And to break away from the financual control and dependency of the system for a income.
    Cigarettes,Alcohol,fast food and the automobil has killed more people than Marijuana.
    Legalizing marijuana would help our economy.

    There are over the counter drugs that are stronger than Marijuana.

      Yeah, you're probably right, the drug war is too big of a business to just go away... of course legalizing it would be the best way to take power from the drug cartels however that solution is too reasonable.
