Also it should be put to an age limit. Like minors can't buy alcohol until they are 21 years old, that's what they should do to marijuana. We should open dispensaries to only licensed patients and have government control. Marijuana should be only for adults and patients from hospitals who undergo surgery or any other type of procedure that requires that person to feel pain. I hope in the near future we will make wise choices, and teach our kids right from wrong, and also educate them on this issue. Also, we should educate kids and adults about crack, cocaine and the many other drugs that aren't "medicinal" but are used just to get high, act stupid and make awful choices in our society.
