Debate On Marijuana Legalization
Marijuana legalization is in extremely hot topic that offers legitimate arguments for both side of the debate. Those that would like to see marijuana legalized argue that it is far less dangerous than both smoking and alcohol, which are both perfectly legal. They also argue that marijuana offers phenomonal medical benefitswhile making overdose impossible and side effects nearly nonexistant. Those that argue against marijuana legalization focus on the fact that marijuana is often a gateway drug to more serious drugs like cocaine and heroin. They also speak of the dangers that those taking marijuana could create while driving, and the tests that have proven that marijuana kills brain cells.
So what side of the marijuana legalization debate will triumph at Stevens? Come to the debate to throw in your argument as well as watch the heated arguments that will undoubtedly insue.
