Washington, Colorado made it legal to have, but not buy and sell marijuana today. I believe this is a step backwards for society and our legal system. I hope other states and the federal government do not follow the same path.
The arguments for the use of medical marijuana are not strong. Some parents of children as young as two years old maintain that medical marijuana helps treats conditions such as severe epilepsy, severa autism and ADHD. However, I know that they are enough brilliant minds in America to develop cure for diseases that medical marijuana is being used to treat. Legalizing marijuana for medicinal use only means that scientists will probably stop developing drugs for disorders.
Secondly, the Federal government has spent much time warring against drugs even stopping the exportation of drugs from other countries. With marijuana now legal, our courts will be filled with people arguing with judges and prosecutors about drug possession, claiming that because they could not get a prescription, they had to buy marijuana from a local seller. Or even claiming that they forgot they already had one ounce of marijuana, the legal dose, in their pockets.
Washington, Colorado's action only begs the question: if marijuana becomes legal, will cocaine be next?
