In order to legalize gay marriage, you have to get it approved through proposition eight. Once it is approved through this proposition, then it goes to the head of the board. The same process is now being brought up for the legalization of marijuana in california. This is not really a good idea, because of the effects it has on the brain and the individual itself. People already complain about drinking and driving and just imagine if you are high and drunk? Legalizing marijuana has its pros and cons, however when it come to making this descion, you have to think about if it is a good result over all. The answer to this is..NO! Yes the crime rate will go down because then drug dealers wont have to sell it because of the fact its a public drug. Marijuana is the number one drug that is used today. However, all this is doing is making the drug public instead of making it a secret behind the law. When you think about the children and their safety, being around the subtance can cause short and long term affects in the brain. I can understand if the drug is legalized to a certain extent such as for medical use only. Other than that, marijuana is used for pleasure or an escape. In california, it is said individuals can a have a pound of weed in their homes or anywhere. The government can get money from this, and if this is the only issue that concerns them, then we definantly have a problem greater than legalizing marijuana in California.
