ACC Government Topics Wrote about legalizing about a certain green herb. I do not agree with Cremente’s opinion on legalizing marijuana. Cremente states legalizing the drug will help the nation's economy and create more jobs. Won't legalizing drugs take jobs away from DEA’s?  Also, most people that are convicted of drug-related arrests are more likely to commit more serious crimes, so releasing all convicts would create more conflict. If legalizing marijuana helped the economy any, it would be helping Taco Bell and other fast food chains that cure the "munchies" or hospitals that would treat patients having negative effects of the drugs such as: chronic bronchitis or blood vessel blockage. 

Would the same laws that go along with alcohol apply to marijuana? Stoned driving is just as dangerous as driving under the influence of alcohol. Marijuana is also often used as a stepping-stone for harder drugs, just such cocaine. Or should we just legalize all drugs to completely elimate the problem and focus at more “important issues”? Marijuana should continue to stay illegal, there is already leeway with how many grams are considered worthy of time behind bars, more freedom with the drug will just create more problems than there already is.
