GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT DENY PEOPLE

I believe that marijuana should be legalized for medicinal
purposes.

America is a country that advocates and, in fact, symbolizes freedom
of choice; it's what makes us one of the most unique and successful
nations in the world.

I accept that the government is responsible for maintaining order and
safety.

However, drugs are used everyday to save and better people's
lives.

And if marijuana can also do this, the government should not deny
people that aid.
