I believe we should follow the lead of states like Colorado, Washington, Oregon, etc., and legalize marijuana use in Texas. Marijuana is a top drug used in Texas and the legalization has the potential to alleviate crime in border towns and most of all assist the economy.



Marijuana one of the major drugs used in Texas and the law against its legalization does not prevent people from using the drug. If anything the law actually harms people's lives for when a person is found in possession of Marijuana they can be put in jail with creates a downward spiral and negative effect on their futures. Legalization of Marijuana can alleviate the crime rate in Texas especially in border towns such as El Paso. On top of this, making marijuana legal has the potential to regulate the economy in all of Texas prompting good changes economically for residents.

Marijuana use should be up to the discretion of each individual and everybody should have the right of choice about how to live their lives. It is time for a change and i hope you will join the cause.
