marijuana

In the article ‘Marijuana law just creates criminals’ the author Hakeem Jefferies talks about marijuana and how it is affecting New York and also how 85% of the people arrested are black and Latino. I think marijuana should just be legal because everyone is going to smoke it anyway I’m not saying it’s right but I don’t really think it’s a bad drug where as though you would have to get locked up for it like in the article it says over 400,000 people were arrested for marijuana in the last decade that’s just crazy. I don’t think you should be allowed to smoke marijuana and drive that should be illegal because you could get seriously hurt and so can other people around you. Also if you’re caught with a lot of marijuana that should just be a fine not jail time. People make it seem like it’s a big deal drug like cocaine or heroin. I also agree with the article when it says it should either be a crime or not because you cant be in the middle of a crime either you did it or didn’t.
