The drug war in America has been raging on for many years, it is still a problem even though most of the counterculture children are adults now. That generation was looked at like one of the first heavy users of drugs across the nation. Since the 70's people have been trying to get marijuanna legalized all over the world. In some countries it is legal, but it is abundant everywhere. People feel that this drug isnt really a drug, because it is grown in nature, unlike meth and cocaine. Marijuanna is compared to alcohol because people feel they have the same consquences. If alcohol is legal, marijuanna should be also. You hear of thousands of deaths from drunk driving, but you do not hear of many from driving under the influence of marijuanna. Even though alcohol is limited to people over the age of 21 (atleast in the US) there is still many cases of underage drinking. Many people feel that marijuanna is a gateway drug, which in many cases it is. But other drugs like cocaine, meth and heroin are much more serious drugs than marijuanna.
You may become addicted to any of those 3 drugs on your first try, your body literally becomes dependent on them. This is a serious problem also associated with smoking/chewing tobacco. Even though tobacco doesnt for say get you "high" it is still a serious problem. Im sure there are drugs addicts all over the world thinking that if they can get addicted to cigarettes and its legal, they can get addicted to heroin and that should be legal also.
I feel that all the drugs that are illegal now, should stay illegal. Even though i wish it would stay that way, i feel that in my lifetime marijuanna will be legal in certain situations besides just in medicine. I think that alcohol should be considered to be illegal again, just like prohibition. But that caused such an uproar in the countr that im betting it will not happen again.
