First off, spell "Marijuanna" right, it's Marijuana. Secondly, well uh...there is no secondly.
All I know is that I completely disagree with your statement, and that Marijuana should in fact be legalized, at least to an extent where everyone can use it with a prescription, not just only in certain states.
Personally, I think it should be legalized completely. It's just like alcohol, it impairs judgment, causes you to act differently, the only difference is that alcohol is a depressant, and Marijuana is a stimulant. Marijuana is also proven to help people with depression, and severe anxiety disorder (and I can personally speak from experience on this). If everyone in this country smoked Marijuana instead of drinking alcohol, do you realize how different this world would be? I personally think it would be a much better place.
The dependence for Marijuana and physical harm is also low, even lower than Tobacco or Alcohol. I haven't done it for a while, and I don't really feel the need to, but like Alcohol or Tobacco, it's a nice escape from reality, and that's why we do those things, right? So if drinking and smoking tobacco is legal, and Marijuana has less dependence and physical harm caused by both, then why the fuck is it illegal?
Plus, there are people who have actually had to use Marijuana medicinally, a porn star named Blue Iris being an example, and that was frankly the only treatment for her problems, because she couldn't even take asprin for god's sake.
