Making Weed legal

April 7Th student in my class did a presentation on making marijuana legal. His argument why it should be legal is that it does not affect the mind and makes kids less likely to drink. I was actual infuriated that he did this for a project. he claims it is not an addictive drug but in reality it is. You smoke it to get the "high" feeling which then leads to you wanting a better high so you get introduced to a more toxic drug. Marijuana slows your heart beat not allowing enough blood to your brain therefore causing it to be starved of oxygen. this is not healthy and should not be allowed. They say it is just a plant and can not hurt you but it does. Also the only people who do think it should be legal is because it is their drug of choice.
This presentation makes me think more about these addictive drugs and their effects they have on people. That presentation did not change my mind and many of my class mates minds.
