I would like to hear argmuents of people who are against the legalization of marijuana. I will not judge, I may argue, but not judge (after all, I am the one on the side of the illegal product). I am just curious to know the reasons. I watched "Marijuana: A Chronic History" on the history channel...and it had people arguing against it. I just couldn't shake the feeling that the interviews were intentionally skewed towards the legalization of marijuana...I mean, unless one reason we shouldn't is "because we are a super power". As far as other people I've spoken to...well...lets just say I was surprised how wide spread the use is...

“I think people need to be educated to the fact that marijuana is not a drug. Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If He put it here and He wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong?”
