Marijuana should not be leagal http://healthland.time.com/2010/10/07/prop-19-analysis-will-marijuana-legalization-increase%C2%A0use/?xid=rss-topstories&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+time%2Ftopstories+%28TIME%3A+Top+Stories%29&utm_content=Google+Reader

I have just read the article Prop 19 Analysis: Will Marijuana Legalization Increase Use? By Maia Szalavitz this article struck me in many different ways, first maybe it will decrease the use of it, next is the use of it sense we legalized it for the sick, and last is will it lead to more drug use.  First of all this could actually work having it legalized because some kids probable do it just to be above the law. If that is true then will they move on to do other maybe even worse illegal stuff? The second thing I noticed was sense we legalized it for the sick the cost on the street has gone down and more and more people have been arrested for using it. So if it becomes completely legal then will even more people be tempted to try it? My last point is that if we legalize marijuana then will we be getting closer to legalizing other drugs? If you think about it then after its legalized there will be another drug out there that people will go to that is illegal and if that drug becomes more popular then will we legalize it for less use? That is some thing to think about.
