Pot leagalized in colorado
A new law passed in Colorado has allowed for the sale and use of marijuana distributed by licensed dispensaries hundreds of people formed long lines outside of the dispensaries waiting for there chance to legally purchase Cannabis products. most people are in favor of the legalization but of course there are also some that are opposed several people waiting in line reported people driving by shouting comments about the people standing in line being drug addicts or similar remarks. most people agree that the use of marijuana is no worse than people who regularly drink Alcohol. in my opinion marijuana is far less dangerous than heavy drinking or doing other drugs or medications. marijuana can also be noted for having various medical uses and purposes as well such as treating PTSD anxiety and various other medical conditions. also I think that if marijuana was legalized across the board in America one could tax the sale and raise a large economy based of the marijuana trade and sale furthermore I believe that violence would go down do to the effects of the drug having a calming and non violent effect on the user. more so it is more often heard of people crashing cars hurting them self's or something of the similar using alcohol than marijuana. I guess also if I had to choose id rather have to deal with some one who uses marijuana than some other lethal drug or alcohol. meth crack and all of the serious drugs have really serious side effects marijuana has some but mainly it just makes you hungry and want to hug people not all that bad compared to the side effects of most new illicit street drugs. I guess if it came down to it im all for the reasonable and responsible use of marijuana
