Marijuana is a dangerous and addictive drug that has many consequences to using it. People debate whether it should be legalized or not due to its pros and cons. Marijuana should not be legalized because it is a gateway drug to the legalization of other drugs and has many bad effects on the users of it.
The legalization of marijuana would be a simplistic solution to a complicated problem. It would increase use and, with it, a host of attendant social problems. So if I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times, because tobacco and alcohol are legal is no reason to make marijuana legal. If anything, it shows us that we should keep pot illegal.
