For decades now, the issue of legalizing marijuana has been a hot one in the United States. Even with massive public demand to legalize, and the successes experienced in societies where marijuana is legal, the United States government still sees fit to restrict marijuana usage amongst its citizens. Making marijuana legal draws people out from both sides of the table - and each side is sure that the other is incorrect.

Here are some of the reasons used against decriminalizing marijuana:

• Marijuana is reported by many to cause serious health issues – however, there have never been any scientific, non-biased studies to substantiate these claims;
Marijuana is a great revenue generator for local, state and national governmental agencies. In fact, as with nearly all governmental inspirations, money making drives the reasoning for the continued criminalization of cannabis.
Marijuana is used by non-adult members of society. While this is a true fact, so used is alcohol, cocaine, crystal methane, heroin, LSD and every other drug. Marijuana is a plant and the responsibility to control the actions of children rests with parents.

Making marijuana legal is a battle that has been fought for many years here in the US, and around the world. There will always be proponents and opponents. With each passing year, the opponents of legalizing marijuana are dwindling, and faltering, because there are just not any real reasons to keep it illegal – and they know it.
