Debate Topic

       In English class, we are doing debates. My debate topic is should marijuana be legal or illegal. I think marijuana should be legal because it has a lot of benefitical traits that help people's health. Some of them are that it helps treat many diseases, protects your brain, spurs creativity in your brain, energizes your senses, and more. Marijuana hasn't even causes any deaths, so it is not hazardous in that situation. Also, making marijuana illegal is taking away people's rights to do what they want. If people are forbidden to have marijuana then the country that they are in is not the "free country" that it claims to be and should let everyone do what they wish to do. These are just my opinions on my debate topic, others have many more.
