Is Legalizing Weed the Answer?

I am for, and against legalizing weed. I'm for it because people won't be charged for it or under possession of sale. I'm against because you never know the outcome, If weed becomes legal a lot of drug dealers are going to go out of business. But if the Government increases the prices, then drug dealers will be back into business. They will give more product for a less price. I think weed is different from other drugs. People are mostly still in their right state of mind when they smoke weed. Other drugs,people get strung out and addicted then they need more.

I'm against because weed is still weed. Now medical reasons are different; it might really help with someone who has cancer. Now the other reason of weed is that it's still no excuse to do drugs. It can kill people. People or dealers, might turn to stealing. Or lowering prices to compete with their work. It's different because other weed might be for health reasons. And other weeds will kill when you smoke to much, and Mary Jane is not the best drug it still can kill. Dealers should go to jail for selling drugs cause sometimes they put things into drugs. They can kill because they were too high to know what they were doing.

I think that they shouldn't legalize marijuana because it's gonna cause a lot of problems. Like when they start having it on farms there's gonna be getting robbed then the crime rate is gonna go up...And I really don't think there gonna make a lot of money because it's too different types of weed the stores gonna have bammer and the hood is gonna have purple and the stores might have tax and the hood have jug...The older people are gonna buy store weed and the young folks are gonna buy from the local...I think if that if they sale weed illegally their gonna go to selling crack or heroin of it becomes legal...I think weed is different in a way, but it's all the same because its an addiction and if cigarette are legal they should make it illegal and make the herb legal... And i think people are gonna go broke and the state is gonna have the money while the people are struggling for their addiction then it's gonna be no point of legalizing it because people are gonna want to save money...
