Should Marijuana Be Legalized?

A question that usually ponders on the minds of some people now days, "Do you think Marijuana should be legal?" was asked to four Frostburg State University students.

Jason Baccus, a sophomore majoring in Political Science and Pre-Law from Bowie, Maryland believed that marijuana should not be legalized. "Once you legalize it the government will tax it, then it will be expensive. Instead it should be criminalized, because you can't get in trouble cause prisons are too filled with petty criminals."

Now Ashlie Riley, also a sophomore from Baltimore, Maryland majoring in Social Work thought differently. She thought that marijuana should be legalized. "It should be legalized for people who need it for medical reasons. Marijuana on the streets should not be because I don't want to pay taxes on something that I'm not smoking often."

Freshmen, Chris Jones and Kourtney Goffe both replied yes to the question of whether marijuana should be legalize. Jones from Leonard Town, Maryland majoring in Business believes it should be "because there's so many people doing it. I don't see a big factor in smoking." Goffe from Baltimore, Maryland majoring in political science said "Yes I do! I believe marijuana should be legal cause it can stimulate the economy. It's not a dangerous drug!" she exclaimed "You can't overdose on marijuana, plus people will buy food cause they're hungry and spend money on gas cause they will go driving to go pick up their weed."
