families all because of addiction. Will legalizing
these destructive drugs change the effect of them?

only make it easier for people to have the
opportunity to self-destruct themselves and whats
around them. There isnt any good reason why our

Has the time come to legalize marijuana? Marijuana
has been known to man for quite some time now and
has been used for centuries. The Marijuana
prohibition has been in effect since 1937 and

and look closer at the possible positive effects
that marijuana can offer? If the main goal of
marijuana prohibition is to stop Americans from
using it, then it has failed just like the alcohol

topic of much debate throughout the history of

its banning. It was actually originally the work
of the cotton industry who put big money behind il
legalization for the plant's mind altering
effects. The cotton industry was afraid that hemp,
a product of the cannabis plant, would soon
overpower the strong hold of cotton since it was a

Why? Marijuana is illegal. Illegal to possess,

is illegal many are against the prohibition laws.
