People are dying and being imprisoned due to the unfair pot laws. A change needs to be made. People should have the right to decide whether they use marijuana, or not- just as they are allowed to do so with alcohol, cigarettes, etc. There are no long-term health risks caused by inhaling marijuana. In fact, the exact opposite has been proven. I grew up being taught from the school system that it was a dangerous drug that would kill me, and ruin my life. Then I tried it at age 19. That was the day I realized that everything I had ever been told about marijuana was a lie. It cured my depression. It cured my insomnia, panic attacks, and night terrors. It is 2016 and I am being told by my "free" government that I can't live my life the way I want to, free of this mental pain.
