To legalize or not to Legalize…..
With proposition 19 to be voted on in California on November 2nd, marijuana may finally be legalized. Most advocates believe that proposition 19 will add needed revenue to the state of California through its taxes while also reducing crime and corruption. With the legalization of marijuana, California believes they will bring in an additional 1.4 Billion dollars in additional tax revenue through its legalization. Marijuana has been proven to assist with issues ranging from, chronic body pain to anorexia. . However, there are some people who are skeptics. For instance, with its legalization some critics believe that marijuana being a “gateway” drug will lead to the abuse of more severe drugs. I do not believe that marijuana is a gateway drug, I just feel as though many people do what they believe is cool, and with society changing who knows what that may be. As of right now the topic is marijuana, and what do you think, should it be legalized or not?
