Marijuana debate

Currently, Marijuana is illegal, if you are found in possession of the substance then you cna either recieve a $500 fine or face a sentence of up to 14-15 years inprisonment, is you are found growing and supplying it, then the consequences are greater,

I know this because I went to this site

You may be wondering how these are true facts and why I didn't use places like the Wikipedia, well the Wikipedia is a public domain where anyone can add and edit the site where as this site is .govt so it is officiated by the government, An example is for the wikipedia, I could go on and state all these false facts about it and you wouldn't know because it's an unofficial site, with .govt sites it gets cycled and confirmed before being made public.

But with Marijuana potentially being made legal, things will change greatly, The general idea is to make Marijuaa legal for medical purposes, In my opinion I'm mixed on this, I don't want it legal for the sake of Drug abuse, but if you are required a license to obtain it, then i'll be more confident about it.
