Legalizing Marijuana

I have watched this debate linger on for quite some time now. Those in favor now use the economy as the reason we should now legalize yhis drug, saying that it would full our recovery. I find it amazing that they think we should abandon our principles and logical thinking to make a quick buck, the same thought process used by many who sell the drug right now, just because we need money. Since when has it ever been a good idea to abandon your principles and logic in the face of a crisis? In my opinion, it is never a good idea to do that, especially during a crisis. If anything, this is the time to hold strongly to logic and principles, and find a better way out of the darkness.

I believe the pot crowd will use anything to further their goal of making their drug of choice legal. There isn’t any amount of pot that won’t make you high, making it nothing like cigarettes or alcohol, both of which can be used safely without impairment of the user. Pot is also addictive, which is one thing they wish to deny. Yet there are tens of thousand of addicts out there that crave it day after day. It is a drug, and should remain illegal, just as we should hold to the good common sense that made it illegal in the first place.
