Should Marijuana Be Legalized?

Some people think marijuana is bad and should not be legalized, but after doing some research I have come to the conclusion that legalizing Marijuana wouldn’t be all that bad. Colorado and Washington are the only states that have legalized personal use of marijuana for non-medical reason. Since they’ve done so they have made millions of dollars. Twenty other states have legalized medical marijuana and there are a few more on the verge of legalizing all marijuana. I strongly believe if we legalized marijuana in all fifty states then our government would profit and it would boost our economy. If our fifty states legalized marijuana it wouldn’t mean full out drugs all the time, Colorado’s law states you are able to have three immature and three mature cannabis plants locked up in a private place. Therefore you wouldn’t be allowed to grow fields or even sell it yourself. You can give up to an ounce as a gift but it would be illegal to sell it on your own. My personal belief in marijuana I would never smoke it but I would much rather they legalize it and the money go to government funds than a drug cartel.
