Marijuana has been proven to provide a higher quality of life for cancer patients as they undergo chemotherapy and the symptoms brought on by said therapy. The recreational legalization of marijuana in the state of Colorado has resulted in a dramatic decrease in crime rates, as well as a new source of income for the state government and for small business owners. In all of documented history there is not one single case of a death being directly attributed to the use of marijuana, yet it is illegal. Meanwhile alcohol and tobacco continue to cause countless deaths every year in the United States, as well as across the world. We the people of America demand that the Obama administration legalize the recreational use of marijuana nationwide. It's time to take back our freedom.
