Millions agree. Legalize marijuana across America. Treat it like any tobacco product or source of natural medicinal value.

Unjust enforcement should be addressed regarding all laws. Decriminalizing use of marijuana & leaving governing it to States make sense & would be constitutional, as well as more accurately reflect the will of the people since state governments are closer to their constituencies

We should also be aware that health costs, not to mention actual public health, will be adversely affected in long run by recreational use, the health risks of which outweigh any benefits. I am not referring to prescribed use for legitimate medical reasons.

I'm going to need you to source your claims. Show me the studies showing the outsized health risks? Health risks are FAR less than alcohol or tobacco.
