It really depends. It would be possible to get mouth cancer from chewing only a year, but not as likely as long-term.

Will weed ever be legalized?

Q: Background: Marijuana has been illegal since what, the 70’s? It was legal for a short time since but it “didn’t work” so they illegalized it again. Countless man hours and police money is spent on it and even people with M cards and diseases are treated like criminals sometimes. Plenty more.Plan: US Federal Gov’t should begin the long, gradual process toward marijuana legalization.Advantage 1: Police/crime-Less money wasted.-Less man hours wasted on it, more for things like robberies and murders that actually affect people.-Suffering people with M cards get to use their prescribed medicine in peace.—Look at Denver, CO. Not totally legal but mostly reduced to something like a fine. Only 21 and over can have it legally (just like alcohol) and only up to a ounce (more and they’re charged with dealing).Ad 2: Tax money/warnings about health risks-Start legalizing it, marijuana products companies will form, say there’s a weed pack like cigs, tax the heck out of it if you want (money for desperate gov’t), put giant health risk labels on if you want. (If people don’t mind damaging their brains, it should be their right as Americans to do so). Nobody has to use it if they don’t want to. Make people smoke only 25 feet or more from buildings if you want.Ad 3: Stuff is more fun, food tastes better, fingers look like little people-Not for me but there would be a lot of grateful SnusAd 4: Drug rights-Let poor, treated like an African-American by police weed rejoin his unhealthy but loved by millions BFFs, alcohol and tobacco.-Alcohol is really a type of liquid poison, cigarettes are loaded with additives and contain things like ammonia and tar (delicious, delicious tar if you ask me). Are those really that much healthier than marijuana. Rhetorical question, hellz no!Now the disadvantagesDisad 1: Afraid of change-Just like Cuba Embargo, which will be lifted pretty soon.Disad 2: Health risks-Yeah, but are cigarettes illegal? No, you can get them everywhereDisad 3: Spike in use after legalization-True but only temporary. Like when you take a toy away from a baby and it suddenly really wants it. People want what they can’t have, natural human trait. Would be like this: up, plateau, then down + moreDisad 4: Gateway drug-True, it can be, but here’s what you do to solve that: when you’re greatly lowering restrictions on marijuana, greatly tighten restrictions on harder drugs. When people see how much easier it is to get marijuana and how much harder it is to get hard drugs, hard drug use will go down. Seriously, those drugs are horrible for you. Good whatchamacallit for damage from ecstacy is that it takes ice cream scoops out of your brain. Heroin is worst, meth is prob 2nd worst, but it’s all bad with hardcore drugs. Watch any documentary about an addict to see why.Conclusion: Told both sides. Check facts, look at other countries, use common sense and you’ll see that it’s the obvious move.Oh wait, almost forgot . . . Ad 5: The Deaths-Alcohol: many drunk driving deaths. It’s the leading cause of death for teens in all states (DC, not a state, has a different leading cause. Gun violence, I think). Not just drunk driving deaths, alcohol poisoning deaths and deaths from drunk people killing someone too.-Tobacco and cigarettes: many deaths (isn’t it 60,000 deaths a year just in the US?) from smoking-related diseases like lung cancer. Chewing tobacco causes cancer too, but mostly mouth cancer. If you’re a smoker, you might have to get your voice box removed and replaced with a robotic one. Great for a robot costume to scare trick-or-treaters with! Doesn’t just kill smokers, also kills non-smokers who inhale the secondhand smoke on a regular basis (secondhand smoke is more harmful cuz it’s not filtered). Perfect gift for your spouse who sits nearby when you smoke in the living room, an early death!-All these health dangers and you can buy all of the above at pretty much any store that sells food and drinks.-Marijuana: Pretty much no high driving deaths because high drivers are calm and cautious while drunk drivers are more reckless and aggressive. Can’t overdose from smoking weed. You can have to go to the hospital from eating too much weed in food, but I don’t think you can die from it (or it’s just very unlikely).Secondhand weed smoke can damage non-smokers who inhale it, but that’s why you would just make a “no weed smoking in buildings or within 25 feet of them” rule too.High people don’t kill people cuz they are too busy looking at their hands and eating Doritos.Ok, now I’m done . . . smoke weed every day.Edit: is popping tons of pills and alcohol the drug of choice for the winners then? Hypocrite.Nope. I can’t smoke weed anymore but I have fond memories of it. I think alc, weed, and tobacky are all ok in moderation. The problem is that so many people these days don’t have enough self control to do em in moderation. Only bad drugs IMO are ones like meth, heroin, and cocaine that kill people and ruin lives.

A: well it is being decriminalized in many states, and I think more states will continue to decriminalize it. Legalization is a long ways away, but I think eventually it will be legal nationwide.
