Legalizing+Marijuana

People should be able to use the recreational drug marijuana, freely and without repercussion. Currently it is illegal to smoke marijuana, but is continued to be sold on the black market. The thriving drug dealers bring about much violence, and crime. Jail cells are being filled with people who use marijuana, which is a harmless substance. Marijuana has many benefits such as, pain relief, regulating appetite, and muscle relaxation. Why would the government say who is worth of reaping these befits? Legalizing marijuana would save money because it would start the end of the War on Drugs, and free up jails from people who are there for non-violent crimes, also the government could tax it for some extra money. We could organize a series of walks and rallies, to bring public attention to the illegitimacy of marijuana’s legal status. It is hoped that Rhode Island Legislature will see that its people are in support of decriminalizing marijuana. Their job is to represent what is in the people’s best interests.
