I find it ridiculous in a way that stories like this have made it to the big news. I too have varying opinions on drugs and laws regarding them. However, I do feel that there are some drugs that should be legalized and drugs that should never be anything but outlawed. Marijuana is such a silly drug to be fighting over. There are absolutely no addictive chemicals in marijuana to make anyone become addicted or out of their head from using it. In fact, what it does is trigger your “happy” nerves. It is proven that it can lower one’s stress level and reduce their pain levels as well, without hindering you mentally. It’s not like drinking 10 beers and then driving. It’s also not like taking toxic levels of morphine and either passing out or killing yourself. In fact, it’s one of the few drugs that you can NOT overdose on. So in my opinion, it SHOULD be legalized.Andi Thomasnoreply@blogger.com
