LEGALIZATION WOULD CAUSE MORE PROBLEMS

Marijuana is a very hot topic lately. There has been a big push to
legalize it by many pro-marijuana interest groups.

I do not think that marijuana should be legalized. It would affect
people's lives. It would also cause many problems in people's lives.

If marijuana were legalized, it would cause many medical problems,
such as lung cancer and slower brain function. If people had slower
brain function then stuff would get done a lot slower. People would
also not want to do as much work.

If marijuana stays illegal then you can decrease the number of
children who try the drug. If it was legal, many people would not be
able to make wise decisions on their own. If it was legalized, then
more people would do marijuana and there would be a need to have more
rehabilitation programs.
