Getting pot legalized By Vicky Lau

In this report, David Nathan talks about how our society is starting to gradually learn the truth about marijuana and seeing the good in it being legalized. Nathan does discuss the pros and cons of pot, but shows how it isn't any worse than alcohol. Pot may increase your chances of getting in a wreck when under the influence, but so does an alcohol level of .05 which is under the legal driving level of .07. Also, when pot is legalized, he states how the government can put a tax on the drug and use the tax money to teach students still in grade school the facts about drugs which will help any kid thinking about smoking, decide if it will be the right thing for them to do

I'm gonna be honest and say I'm pro-legalization. I don't see how it's any worse than alcohol or tobacco. Anything is harmful because "too much of a good thing is bad." So too much alcohol can cause kidney failure, tobacco can cause lung cancer and the same with pot. The only difference between pot and tobacco is that pot can harm a person's way of thinking when high. Except, doesn't alcohol do that, too? I've heard more on the news about people in fatal car crashes while intoxicated than I have of someone being high. Plus, numerous people are fined and/or sent to jail for being in possession of pot. That kinda seems like a cheep way to get money.


POT LEGALIZATION.
