Legalization of Marijuana
Marijuana has positive aspects, where as cigarettes and alcohol do not. Hearing this you might ask well then how come it is illegal? Marijuana should be legalized because it has medical benefits for sick patients, it is proven not to be a gateway drug and users under the influence of this drug are not considered a danger to society.

Marijuana helps treat certain sick and dying patients. The state of Wisconsin has reconigized this and has introduced a bill to the US Supreme Court that would legalize medical marijuana .

One option the government has is legalizing marijuana for medical use.
