Writing an essay on Marijuana legalization/decriminalization.

I'm in need of some great reasons to decriminalize marijuana.

I have a few points written down, but I want a lot more.
One thing I especially want to write about is how the government exaggerate the effects of weed, making it seem much more dangerous than it is. Plus the medical benefits of it.


Could any of you help?
Thanks!

Thanks, Freedom_User. I did search already, but I couldn't find many useful topics.

I might hand-write it, because I need it for my class and my printer isn't plugged in or installed.. Not sure if I want to set it up or not.

I'll shamelessly post my marijuana legalization essay for you to glance at if you wish

yoman done his/her research with all those sites : )

Awesome! Thanks Yoman3.

just so you know, decriminalization doesnt help anything, only legalization. decriminalization wont get the dealers off the streets, it wont stop any of the violence. this is because many people will no longer be afraid of the consequences(because they wont be as bad) and will actually push their product with more fervor; this could potentially cause many more problems than having it illegal in the first place. legalization all the way

Thanks Mud_head. I'm for legalization, yeah, but I did want to make decrim' points for people who just don't understand legalization.
