The legalization of marijuana could have a great impact on our society. From thousands of people being arrested each year, ruining both citizens lives and putting police in danger, to the huge economic boost we could gain from legalization, legalizing marijuana could significantly help America. Many studies show that marijuana is both less addictive and deadly than alcohol, and recently The Washington Post reported that less Colorado teens are smoking marijuana than before it was legalized. Furthermore, legalization could help teens because if they are still able to get ahold of marijuana, they will not be getting synthetic or fake marijuana. Finally, if you believe legalization to be immoral, think of all the violence created by this extension of the black market.
