Marijuana in Oregon: Reagan Leslie
On Tuesday, Oregon was the third state in America to legalize marijuana. Washington D.C. is one step ahead of them because they will soon be able to grow and process pot legally. It was a hard journey to get marijuana legalized. Oregon, Washington D.C., and Colorado teamed up permitting the use of marijuana. Although the federal government still accuses pot as a illegal drug, a lot of states have legalized marijuana, which brought million of dollars in taxes. There has been recent buzz about Oregon that they will let people grow and possess marijuana legally in July.
To be honest, I don't think marijuana should be legalized because the drug can cause many problems. Although it is a medicine, I still think that they should use an alternative instead of marijuana. I completely on board with the states that don't allow marijuana.
