MARIJUANA

Two states have recently legalized the use of marijuana. These states are Colorado, and Washington. Why they legalized it, I have no idea, but in a way marijuana should be legal, because studies have shown that marijuana does less damage to your lungs than cigarettes. But at the same time, people will just abuse this drug because they can if our government legalizes it across the country. If they were using it for use in the medical field then my thoughts would be different. But it's not used for medicine, it's used for pleasure, so as long as it's used for medicine, yes marijuana should be legal through out the country. But what ticks me off is that our president Barrack Obama said he would try to STOP the use of this drug.
