Some facts on why Marijuana is a bad choice to legalize

Cons for Legalizing Marijuana:

1. A State cannot be involved with the distribution of substances considered immoral by relevant lots of the population. A substance considered unhealthy cannot be produced and distributed with the help of the state, because the goal of the state is to protect citizens’ health and not to expose them to risk.
2. The easy availability of drugs would create new consumers rather than rescuing current ones.
3. Drugs are addictive. They rob the user of free will. A drug user cannot make an informed and rational decision to continue using drugs because the use of the drug eliminates that user’s ability to think logically. Nor can they disseminate themselves from drug taking.
4. Drug use is dangerous to other people besides the user. In the rise of health care costs, violence associated with the use of drugs, neglect of children by drug-addicted parents, and other third party effects.
5. The use of soft drugs, such as marijuana, leads to the use of hard drugs (the Gateway Theory).
6. Legalizing drugs will send a message to children that drug use is acceptable

Some other facts to take into account

Marijuana is an addictive, gateway drug. It significantly impairs bodily and mental functions, and its use is related to increased violence. These are facts.

Yet proponents of legalizing the drug studiously deny or downplay the well-documented dark side of marijuana trafficking and use. Instead, they promise benefits ranging from reduced crime to additional tax revenue.
