Marijuana should be decriminalized.

Large numbers of Canadians are being charged for possesion of marijuana, whether it be large or small amounts. We are often required to submit a criminal record check, when applying for a job or university. It is unfortunate that these offenses could potentially prevent us from moving forward in our lives. Aswell if marijuana were to be legalized, it may even decrease the usage of it. Having easy access to it, may cause people to not have as much of a crave for it. Many simply smoke it just for the reason that it is illegal. Some argue that marijuana is just like a simple cigarrete, nothing more. Statistics prove that marijuana is one of the least harmful drugs. Unlike substances such as alcohol which is legal, and hurt us in the long run. Decriminalizing marijuana will benefit our economy overall. With our court systems backed up so far due to cases associated with the usage, possesion, or trafficking of marijuana. Something that seems all so silly to me. Our prisons are filled with teenagers who arent criminals, just wanna be thugs who enjoy a good smoke here and there. Lets legalize marijuana, and save space in our jails for the real criminals.
