The only dangerous thing about marijuana is the 34,000 people that die in drug cartels every year.

My argumentative paper is about the legalization of marijuana. Did you know not one person has ever died because of marijuana? Also, 80 % of arrests are for possession of marijuana, not distribution or manufacturing. A drug bust can ruin someone's life when they really did not do anything wrong. On top of that, more then 25,000 hemp products can be made that are nontoxic, reusable, and biodegradable. Taxing marijuana would also bring in an extra ten to fourteen billion dollars in revenue.

Besides all the reasons it could possibly save our economy, it is our freedom to choose what we want to do. Prohibition has not helped the government in any way, all it has done is give marijuana the "forbidden fruit effect" causing people to want it. More then 100 million adults admit to using marijuana, and that is including our last three presidents.

Medically, marijuana is the drug some people need to live. People with AIDS use marijuana to be able to eat enough to live, cancer patients use marijuana to relieve nausea and vomiting after chemotherapy, and marijuana works just as well as codeine as a pain reliever and its healthier. And marijuana is not as unhealthy as every seems to think. Infact, the only way to consume it unhealthily is by smoking it. No worry though you can consume it from baked foods, tincture, or from a vaporizer.
