Is Marijuana Really a Crime?
What is Marijuana You Ask?

Marijuana is the dried blossom of cannabis sativa and cannabis indica plants. Its a low level drug that gives you a "high." Some people claim that its bad for you health but other seem to disagree on that. Marijuana is referred to by many different names such as: Dope, Pot, Weed, Ganja, Grass, Herb, Mary Jane, Reefer, Smoke, Bud, and so many others.Marijuana is informed to be a "gateway drug" or "stepping stone" drug but it just depends on the user them self. Its their call if its a gateway drug or not no one is forcing them to try other drugs and the Marijuana isn't telling them to do so.
The Good SIde of Marijuana
Is there such as thing?
Yes, Marijuana serves many purposes, yes its a drug and no it does not kill you. Marijuana is not a harmful drug as many people think that, as of current time there have been no records that Marijuana was the cause of death!! Wow! hard to believe? Yes, but its true. Marijuana has many uses and would help the economy greatly if it was legalized!. Marijuana can be used for medicine, it can be used for construction, a placement for wood, paper products, textiles, bedding for animals, food for animal, certain plastics, oils, nutritional supplements, and etc. I bet you never thought that the "drug" Marijuana would be so helpful to the economy.
If Marijuana was to become legalized it could help bring the economy back to where it was earlier in time. Just think to yourself for a minute, and think of how much money the government made last year off cigarette sells, was it 100,000? NO, was it 1 million? Nope. It was roughly 9.3 billion dollars they made last year from the tax off cigarettes. Now Marijuana is sold for a little bit more. If Marijuana was taxed and sold the government would make double or triple the amount it made on cigarettes, Thats a lot of money over 20 billion dollars the government would have to do whatever they do with it..

- Great Lens! If I told you that we should take a multi-billion dollar industry, make it non-taxable and give 100% of the profits to organized crime, you'd think that I'm an idiot.
I recently did a Lens of my own;

Check out the documentaries that I linked through Youtube. Excellent documentaries to recommend to people who know nothing about cannabis.

- Legalize it Already!!! It's no worse than alcohol, obviously legal, or cig., there are many like me whom are allergic to manmade pharmaceuticals, marijuana has been the only medication that i have been able to use for the past 20 years that allows me to function in my daily life. I have raised five children and fostered over 21 in the past six years. My five children are all straight a students and have bright futures ahead of them. Marijuana has not affected the way i raise my children or live my daily life other than it has allowed me to be able to be a part of their lives in a positive way rather than in a hospital or sick in bed with my illness, unable to participate in raising them. Marijuana would be a great way for America to get back on track financially, with jobs being created across the country, in a variety of ways. America is losing out by not using this natural resource!!! WAKE UP AMERICA- LEGALIZE IT ALREADY!!!!! I LOVE THIS LENS!!!!!!

- Actually, marijuana is helpful. It contains therapeutic elements that can cure bodily ailments. But like any other medicinal herb, excessive usage can cause side effects. Thus, it is necessary for marijuana users to know their limits.
