Medical Marijuana

Laws exist to protect the people. If laws aren't protecting us, what point do they have? If, however, everyone who has smoked pot in their life (an illegal act) was put in jail, it would do far more harm than good. Admitted marijuana users include almost all musicians, several supreme court justices, and at least the last 3 presidents of the United States. 

There is no reason that marijuana should remain illegal, and even less of a reason that medical marijuana should still exist in the legal limbo that it exists in now. There have been 0 deaths caused directly by marijuana, and study after study proves that it is a safer drug than both alcohol and nicotine, which both have yearly deaths in the thousands.

A magazine ad featured a job advertisement for a "burrito taster" with the caption "there aren't a lot of jobs out there for pot smokers." You know, except the presidency.
