Issues on marijuana: Legalization

I started my research finding many reasons for and against the legalization of marijuana like THC effects, addictive effects, and the use of marijuana at a young age. The article that contributed to my research the most was an organization NORML. This article shows the affects of marijuana and how they make, only in some cases, minor differences in the human body. An example that the article stated was that the THC content in marijuana only stimulates, not kills, brain cells (NORML). This statement is in an argument for legalization, and is pointing out that the affects are not harmful. It shows that it is safe and will not affect the human brain, at least not greatly. Marijuana is still illegal however, perhaps there is some other chemical in marijuana that can cause damage.
