Background

I think it should be legalised as it has been proven to have health and therapeutic benefits to it and I think it is unfair how alcohol is legal however cannabis is not, as with alcohol you can sometimes become aggressive as with cannabis it will make you chilled out and also if it was legalised it would reduce crimes and violence as people wouldn’t have to buy it of a sketchy guy and instead could buy it from a dispensary also giving more business opportunities that would amount into more money
