Legalize Marijuana

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that most of the accusations about marijuana have been proven false, or at least misleading, through studies by reputable organizations such as the World Health Organization and the American Medical Association. The author stresses that studies concluded there was no evidence of brain damage in heavy marijuana users. The paper states that the only reason marijuana is still illegal in the United States is possibly a stereotype about the types of people who use marijuana.

From the Paper:

"It is true that motor coordination is impaired while a person is intoxicated on marijuana. Eighty-five percent of motor vehicle accidents involving marijuana also involve alcohol, which leaves only fifteen percent or less to accidents involving marijuana. Some statistics show that fatal motor vehicle accidents in states where marijuana has been decriminalized decline even though marijuana use increases slightly in these states."
