LEGALIZATION SHOULD ONLY BE FOR MEDICINAL REASONS

The article [editorial] that I will be writing about is called
"Finance the Bailout:Legalize Weed" that was published on Tuesday
April 7, 2009. The article is about how legalizing weed would be a
better use of resources for all levels of government.

It talks a lot about how legalizing weed can save us a lot of money
from not spending money on Treatment and research, drug education,
drug control, imprisonment, and persecution. I feel that it would
save some money for people and our country but we would need to do
more then just this. Another thing is what about are younger ones
that are doing the drugs right now. We will still need them things to
make sure or at least try not to have are kids doing the drugs.

Drugs are not good for us and I really do not think we should be
talking about legalizing some. If there trying to legalize them I
feel that it should just be for hospitals and doctors use only. That
meaning that people should just have it if a doctor or hospital gives
them permission to use it or if they would need it to help.

If it did get legalized, what about when people are driving and they
have just had some weed or another drug. They could put other peoples
lives on the line, and that is nothing that you or any body else
would want to happen to them selves.

The author also talked about how legalizing weed will be a healthier
alternative. How could that happen, if anything it would make it
worse because any body would be able to use it and at anytime. Drugs
are drugs and they all are bad for you. I feel that all drugs should
just be illegal because mostly all of them are harmful to are selves.
