legalizing weed is definetly not a good idea

Yes, yes, it is really cliche for a 17 year old teenaged boy to be writing about the legalization of marijuana. But, i think it is one of the most interesting propositions out there. I dont think in a million years, anyone would have guessed that legalizing weed would save California from the disaster it is in. Supposedly, they will be selling ounces for 40 $ and putting a 50$ tax on them! Weed already is Californias number one cash crop, and its illegal. (kind of). Imagine how much money they state will make from the the millions of stoners that live in the state. Weed will make our schools better, our streets safer and our people happier!
But people seem to forget that it is a drug. Yes there is the argument that weed is safer then alcohol, and if alcohol can be legal, why not pot? But honestly, why does California need ANOTHER substance that makes people dumber and possibly endanger their lives. Tons of people will tell you that weed is good for you, that it is a medicine. Thats alllllllll bullshit. Weed has taken over my life at times. Its probably going to be the reason why i wont get into college. Weed is addictive even if people tell you its not. It makes your grades drop. It makes your social life drop. YES, i love it , yes its great, yes theres lots and lots of great and positive things that come from weed. but come on, lets be realistic, if weed were to be legal, we would be a state of zombies. people would be faded sooo often. too often. and i think that would have a super negative impact on California.
