MY COMMENTS**********************************************************


I take the stand that we do not need to pass a law concerning marijuana. Let's just ban it period. There are too many drugs out there in general to add one more to the market. Legalizing it will just create more problems with people who cannot control themselves. Just like alcohol, this drug will find a user who will abuse its features and put himself or herself at risk, not to mention others. Then the problems will come. More issues, more sadness and more death. We would have to create so many circumstances to properly use the drug, if there is such a use, that the purpose itself might fall into question. Allow doctor-prescribed usage first, then study the usage until deemed much more necessary. Just allowing anyone to come along and buy it or use it will only create more problems.
