The Legalization of Marijuana Most people who smoke marijuana do it for their own pleasure, just like people who drink alcohol. They do it recreationally in their own homes, with out causing harm or upsetting the people around them. There is also literally hundreds of social, medical, and economic benefits of legalizing the sale, possession and use of marijuana and marijuana related products. I believe that Marijuana should be legalized because there is no evidence that it has caused a single death, it is useful in treating medical conditions, and it is less dangerous than alcohol. Marijuana is probably the most popular drug used by people across the country. It has become a part of American culture. Over sixty five million Americans use marijuana either occasionally or on a regular basis. “Most government research on marijuana is based on the “Pathology theory”, or trying to find diseases caused by marijuana.” (Rosenthal, pg.48). The government admits that it is harmless, and there is little evidence it is addictive. There is also nothing in marijuana that would cause people to use other drugs. Through many years of research, it has been proved that marijuana has never caused a single death. Test performe
