Ignorance on the topic of Marijuana Legalization makes me Cringe...

I absolutely HATE when parents, teachers, and the government force their "Marijuana will fuck you up"  statement down the throats of America's children. Are you kidding me? first of all, marijuana prohibition has failed to cease the recreational use of it, and is currently a war not worth fighting. $7.7 billion is spent annually to fight against the use of marijuana. While taxpayers AND the government sit back and rub their foreheads and give up on the debt crisis, they don't realize that the answer is sitting right in front of their noses, and has been there for well over a century. And then, even if you argue that Marijuana will create more danger in the country, take into consideration the amount of deaths EVER from marijuana -- ZERO. yes, zero. none. not so? prove me wrong, search this for yourself. After that is concluded, some may provide the valid argument "What about drug cartels, dont you think these will rise as the demand becomes higher?" Hey, alcohol (which by the way, kills well over 100,000 people anually, not counting the alcohol influenced deaths) is legal, and we don't see 'Beer Cartels,' boats driving across the gulf of mexico in the middle of the night, carrying cans of Bud Light or Heineken, do we? And plus, hey, who wouldn't want to be able to smoke weed freely? (and the weed commercials would be HILARIOUS, just think about it!) Well what do you think? Let me know in the comments below.
