Several topics in modern day society cause controversy, but one topic that out ranks them all is the legalization of marijuana. The main argument is whether not marijuana should be treated the same as already legalized drugs, such as tobacco and alcohol. Many Americans use marijuana illegally; the people using the drug range from the age of teens to even adults in their eighties. Marijuana is considered by most, especially in legal terms, as a dangerous drug. Although the drug is seen as such, many still continue to use it and argue it should be legalized for several reasons. Both citizens and government officials alike debate this topic. To successfully develop and argument for the legalization of marijuana the topic must be defined, the history of the topic must be unveiled, an argument must be made, and a good solution should be proposed. Yes, both sides of the argument both have well supported positions, but marijuana should be legalized by the United States government because the facts supporting legalization far outweigh the arguments keeping the drug as it is.…

Marijuana, what is also known as the cannabis miracle plant is badly misconstrued. When people talk about marijuana, it is considered a taboo especially in American society, but it is actually a wonder drug that has so many advantages to benefit mankind. The legalization of marijuana is an ethical issue that has been debated for years. An effective solution to this ethical issues is the classical theory of utilitarianism to help battle the conflicts of legalizing Marijuana. The opposing view of classical theory is the alternative perspectives like relativism. The classical theory of utilitarianism is the greatest good for the greatest amount of people (Moser, 2013). Marijuana has so many benefits that it does the most good for the most people. It has so many to benefit mankind like fuel, paper, housing, inspiration, textiles, food, oil, and medical uses (Multidimensional, 2009). On the other hand relativism can be against the legalization of marijuana. Relativism is moral claims that are good or bad for a given society. In American Society Marijuana is consider bad because it is a drug that has allegedly bad for your health, also for religious beliefs, for the gate way drug theory and it ability to be addictive drug.…
The question, whether to legalize marijuana or not, is not an easy one to answer. There are many arguments on both sides of the debate. When weighing the pros and cons, it becomes slightly more evident that this drug has unjustly gotten a bad rap. It is easy to say that the drug does terrible things and site numerous examples, however, when compared to other drugs it is easy to see that marijuana is not quite as bad as many people say. Lots of research has been done on the effects of marijuana and other drugs and the results are fairly overwhelming. While there are negative effects, they hardly compare to the negative effects of many other drugs. There could be many benefits to the legalization of marijuana, some obvious, and some not so much.…

The legalization of marijuana is an interesting issue that is discussed often today. Many people agree that doing this would have many benefits, but others stand firm in the beliefs that it will do more harm than good. Since the government is not doing a very good job of stopping the import, export, and use of marijuana in the United States, they should stop trying to completely block it, and instead, regulate it. The legalization of marijuana would have many positive effects such as greater amounts of money for more important government responsibilities, more room in jails for the more serious offenders, and would end the use of marijuana by teens just to ?do something bad? and try and get away with it.…
The legalization of marijuana has been a heated topic of debate for many years. In 1937, the United Sates of America passed the Marijuana Tax Act, which made transfer or possession of cannabis (marijuana plant) illegal throughout the US under federal law. Studies conducted throughout the years have proven that cannabis can be utilized as a medical supplement. In fact 20, states and the District of Columbia have passed laws to legalize marijuana under certain medical conditions. According to the White House, it is the most commonly used recreational drug in the United States. It has been proven to be less harmful than alcohol, which is currently legal; and prohibition caused a black market to arise leading to an increase in an organized criminal activity. The fight against those organizations is costing a great amount of money and was cause for the loss of many innocent. While there are strong arguments in support of prohibition there are stronger arguments in support of the legalization if marijuana than there are counterarguments to keep the substance illegal.…
Very few things disgust me more than when I hear about people or some of my friends getting arrested for the possession of marijuana. Although I do not use it anymore, I strongly believe that it should be legalized throughout the nation and regulated by the U.S. government. There are many reasons why I believe it should be legalized. It would save the government billions of dollars for one, and if they tax it, it would make them even more money. The first and most basic reason is there is no good reason for it not to be legal.…
Imagine that someone makes a small decision that will affect the rest of his or her life. What if that small decision was to smoke marijuana for the first time? Maybe he or she never thought that someone could get addicted to marijuana, or maybe he or she simply had no idea that marijuana could have so many negative affects on daily life. That small decision, regardless, will leave that person’s life headed down the wrong path.…

The issue of cannabis legalization has been a long debated topic in the United States. Twenty-five states and the District of Columbia currently have laws legalizing marijuana in some form; four states and the District of Columbia have legalized the recreational use of cannabis. Whether you are for or against the use of cannabis for medicinal or recreational purposes. Research by the Food and Drug Administration could be done, but without the Drug Enforcement Agency reclassifying cannabis as a drug with possible health benefits, this will never happen.…
