I mean why not?
It is really not all that bad...
It obviously have medical purposes
It is practically impossible to overdose
Marijuana is not addictive
As dangerous as Heroin and LSD.... no...
The only gateway Marijuana would lead you to is the fridge...
If marijuana makes you dumb, you're dumb for thinking that
Tobacco and Alcohol is waaaaaay more toxic than marijuana
Tobacco lobbyist, Alcohol lobbyist, Pharmaceutical lobbyist are the ones fighting the legalization of marijuana to protect their own profits. Considering that we live in a country where the economy thrives from competition, yet these companies are pumping money into to the government to prevent competition to take place.
Remember that the only thing dangerous about marijuana is getting caught with it

Whether you, me, or the government think people should be free to smoke weed or not doesn't stop people smoking it. If it was to be legalised it would give control to the government, it could be licensed, & it would remove the need for our kids to have to interact with dealers just to buy some green. Just for the record smoking weed is bad for your health & is addictive, but until it's legalised governments will never be able to control the flow and distribution and so I think OP is right (probably for different reasons), it should be legalised.
