Should Marijuana Be Legalized

What up souls, I know the title of this sounds kind of funny, but I'm the type of person who thinks that this magical herb or relaxer should be legalized. In fact I am smoking this herb right now and it is motivating me to write this paper (ha-ha just kidding). Don't think I sound crazy when I say this but this is just the type of person I am. I kind of did some research on this and researchers show that marijuana is extremely useful in treating a variety of conditions including: nausea due to chemotherapy, elevated eye pressure due to glaucoma, and loss of appetite and nausea in AIDS patients. I mean if this herb is good for medicinal uses why is it still illegal. There are some states that have this herb legalized for medicinal purposes. I also researched how the crime rate has dropped in 1992 and how more people are in jail for possession of this herb. It seems to me that the war on crime is working well, but the war on marijuana is the opposite. Marijuana is very beneficial, but because it is illegal, patients either go without it or commit a crime to obtain this medication or magical herb. I think that it should be legalized because more deaths are happening because this magical herb some how got people craving over it. Illegalizing marijuana causes more harm than good. I think that it makes no sense to send people to jail for using this magical herb. There are a large amount of jails being created for people that's in jail for petty stuff. Most of the people in jail are in there for possession of marijuana. So if we make marijuana legal we would lower the cost on taxes. I mean what’s the worst this drug can do. It heals, relax, lower taxes and you can get employment with it. So for all those people that are unemployed this can actually help put out jobs. (I am being funny)
