my opinion story
opinion writing
My topic is should recreational marijuana be legalized. I think that recreational marijuana should be legalized.
Many people smoke recreationally to get relief from depression and anxiety. After smoking marijuana you get the feeling of joy and relaxation. Smoking for some people can be a way of just forgetting problems and relaxing. when you smoke weed the effects of smoking can increased sight, hearing, and taste perceptions.
I do think that we should should out a age restriction on being able to smoke recreational marijuana. I think that the age restriction should be 18. If you smoke marijuana before your brain has fully developed it can effect the way you respond to certain things.
Marijuana is the most popular among all the street drugs. since marijuana is the most popular among all the street drugs it will be easier to access the drug which means anyone can get there hands on the drug. The police can't really stop any of these drug buys so it would just be easier to legalize the recreational drug.
Since medical marijuana has been legalized so it has held the door wide open so that recreational marijuana can be easily legalized. Washington and Colorado are the first two states to have legalized recreational marijuana.
If the we can legalize marijuana has a whole it will allow the police to focus are bigger and more time consuming crimes. Legalizing marijuana would save the government $8.7 billion each year.
By legalizing marijuana it could help local governments struggling with rising cost. This can help local struggling governments by taxing the drug. Analyst predicted that in colorado they could raise between $5 and $22 million annually.
More than 60% of the public are now in favor and support with the efforts to legalize recreational marijuana. over 35 million americans use marijuana recreational each year. We can't stop everyone from using recreational marijuana so we should just legalize the drug so we can all use it freely if you are 18 or older.
Most marijuana arrest are minor offenses and don't require time in prison. marijuana being illegal isn't really stopping people from buying and using the drug. This drug is also less addictive compared to all the other hard core drugs.
Everyday things you are drinking and eating or smoking are highly more addictive than marijuana. some everyday items are caffeine, sugar, tobacco, prescription pills and kicking alcohol. Marijuana is a breeze compared to all these other products that you can get addictive to.
Marijuana compared to a lot other hard core drugs and just drugs in general have a really low risk of abuse to others. marijuana is a much heartier choice and can really benefit you. you can use marijuana has a sleep aid to help you sleep. Using marijuana as a sleep aid is also a really safe choice.
No one has ever died of a marijuana overdose. This obviously means that marijuana is a really safe drug that can benefit you and help you in many ways. In conclusion marijuana should legalized for recreational use.
