LEGALIZE MARIJUANA

I don't understand why the government won't just legalize marijuana.

I mean weed is everywhere. You go anywhere and people who want it are going
to get it and are going to get it whether it's legal or not.

They say it's bad for the community and it doesn't teach the younger
generation anything. But keeping it illegal won't help either. All it is
doing is making people want it more because one half the want is in the
chase.

The more secretive, the more people think it's cool and want it.

When it becomes legal it's not going to be such a big deal anymore because
now, any one can have it.

So maybe the best thing is to legalize it.
