[Week XI] Argumentative Essay - We should legalize Marijuanna

There are a lot of studies that show us how dangerous the cigarettes are. There are a lot of campaigns that try to tell us to stop smoking. Even in the cigarette boxes, the smoking room, etc there is a warning for the smokers. However instead of smoking cigarettes, it's better for us to smoke marijuana.

First of all, Why it's better for us to smoke Marijuana than smoking cigarettes? Isn't Marijuana is more dangerous than cigarettes ? The answer is no. It's just an assumption of groups of people that doesn't know anything about Marijuana. Marijuana is totally different from what we thought. We know that by smoking it is the same as we killing ourselves slowly but not Marijuana. There is no evidence that we can die because of Marijuana. There is no solid proof that shows us how Marijuana can kill us.

How about the addictiveness rating ? Isn't Marijuana addicts us ? Yes, Marijuana makes us addicted to it, but not as addicted as smoking cigarettes. Maybe you doesn't believe what is said,but there's a research that already finished comparing the addictiveness level between Marijuana and Cigarettes. Apparently, smoking smoking cigarettes are 10 times more addictive than smoking Marijuana. There is an evidence that show us about it. In Amsterdam there is a constant number of people who is smoking Marijuana which is 35.000 people, and the number hasn't went up for some years, instead of going up, the number goes down slow but sure.

Maybe it's hard to believe it, but that's what the fact says. So why should we ban Marijuana ? It is better for us to legalize it than ban it because by doing that, it will be another income for our country while we push the blackmarket that sell illegal marijuana out. Which one do you choose ? Marijuana that is sold at the blackmarket that only thinks about profit rather than the quality, or Marijuana that is sold by the government who will uphold the quality over the price? The government are there because the society chooses them. That's why they should provide the best for the society.
