Your opinion counts. It's an issue worldwide, not just here.
Well, legalizing it because two other harmful things are legal isn't the reason I think it should be legalized. You're right, there's no safe way to use tobacco. Hookahs aren't too bad, but still not great. But as a rule it's terrible for you. I know that, yet I still smoke. :\ But the reasons marijuana originally became illegal in the U.S. had nothing to do with health or safety. Those are just the reasons they use to explain it now.
Even if it never becomes legal, I think our laws surrounding marijuana are way, way too harsh. There are much worse things we use our resources for. I just don't think the punishment fits the crime in our system. I probably should have included something about that in this entry. There's A LOT to tell about that type of stuff.
