Just 10 years ago, marijuana was illegal to purchase and use in the United States. Today, it is legal for recreational purposes in 11 states, including Washington D.C. However, marijuana is still illegal under federal law. Should the law be changed to legalize marijuana in all 50 states? Why or why not?

Answer:

Up to you

Step-by-step explanation:

Should be legalized because:

1. Can be regulated if its legal

2. Illegal weed can be highly contaminated

3. Better economy

4. Health reasons

5. Decrease crime

Shouldn't be legalized because:

1. Can be bad for you in high quantities

2. Businesses can target children (weed is very bad for a developing brain)

3. Some people say its a gateway drug and can lead to other addictions

4. Can be used in other crimes (ex. kidnapping)
