Marijuana actually only serves a few medical purposes; some of which would be the treatment of glaucoma patients to reduce pressure in the eye and also the treatment of cancer patients to either give them an appetite or help ease the vomiting that comes with chemotherapy. As for aches and pains it may not do much other than give users an outlet to escape reality. There have been countless tests, experiments, and observations on marijuana being a gateway drug and all point to an undeliable yes. Most drugs have been illegal for a long time and our society has functioned perfectly without them so why make it legal now? There are plenty of other ways to make money other than the legalization of a drug. Also, the reprocussions of lealizing a harmful drug could cost the government more money than what it makes. I don't think America should be focusing on legalzing a drug that can break down the foundation that our nation was built upon, but instead focus on the much bigger issues facing our country today.

Clair and I recently went to a conference in Tennessee and were confronted with a problem that had never crossed our minds... So here's the thought.... think about the clothes you wear. Do you know who made the shirt? Do you know who processed the fabric? and do you know who picked the cotton in the fields to make the clothes you wear each day? Modern Day Slavery is something most people don't think exists anymore but the statistics prove otherwise. Did you know that children in India cost less than cattle and over 2.2 million children are sold into slavery each year! Currently there are around 27 to 30 million slaves! Whether it's domestic slavery, sex trafficking, or labor...it still exists.
