Reasons Against Legalizing Marijuana

Legalizing Marijuana Despite to contrary beliefs marijuana is not as bad as other legal intoxicants i.e. alcohol and tobacco substances. Marijuana is recognized all over the world. This plant is known to be a drug that gives users a “high” and is illegal in almost every location all over the world. Some states are very strict when it comes to enforcing that law while others states are very easy going. In our days people are still trying to decide whether or not they should side with legalizing marijuana in America. People that never gave marijuana legalization a thought or were heavily against it are now starting to believe legalization would prove helpful for the U.S. There are many reasons why many should people support marijuana to
Other claims are the fact that people would abuse the drug and cause harm to the body. Marijuana is self has yet never been proven to cause any harm to the body and there is not a single recorded death of an overdose on marijuana. But just like everything else people do, it must be done in moderation like food, alcohol, tobacco etc. The reason why there aren’t any solid information against legalization is because it’s been already legal medically and many studies and tests have been done already to prove it. Over all there isn’t any reason for marijuana to be tested over and over
The main point of economic relief from marijuana legalization has been brought up many times and really only by the people who are for marijuana. Nobody wants America to recover economically by becoming a “pot nation” but it will help bring America out of the hole it is in by legalizing marijuana which would in no way hurt the American economy at all. Regulation of the drug will bring money into the state and ultimately the nation. “Medical marijuana in California brings in 14 billion dollars a year and with legalization it is expected to rise by 4 Billion dollars and that’s only California”. Imagine how it will be in other states that legalize it. (“Legalizing Marijuana Would Generate Billions In Additional Tax Revenue Annually”)
Some religions instruct their followers to use marijuana. “Just like Christianity and Judaism instruct their followers to drink wine on certain occasions, some Hindus, Buddhists, Rastafarians, and members of other religions use marijuana as part of their spiritual and religious ceremonies. These people deserve the freedom to practice their religion as they see fit. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says that the government cannot “prohibit the free exercise” of religion, and so marijuana should be legal.”(“ Rastafari: The Secret History of the Marijuana
