Marijuana can also be use in medicine. A lot of cancer and AIDS patients benefit with marijuana use. And like prostitution, alcohol, or cigarettes if legalized, FDA or other government agencies could regulate the quality and safety of it.
Yet many say marijuana is a gateway drug. Regular use of it may lead the use to try heavier drugs like cocaine and heroine. Legalization of marijuana can also increase the chance for a minor to use it (like what is happening with alcohol and cigarettes).
Do you think it would be wise to make marijuana use legal or not?
