In Response to Kiersten Carlson's Thesis

Kiersten, you stated, "There will be many benefits of legalizing marijuana in such areas as the economy, health, and corrections". This may be true in some cases sure, but there are many other options that would make this statement just as true. As for the economy, if our country has to stoop down to legalizing an addictive drug in order to better the economy then I don't know what this world is coming to. Health, killing brain cells and damaging lungs, I'm sure going for a swim may be a better alternative. As for corrections, allowing someone the use of a drug that is seen within numerous crimes across America, probably not the best choice.
