Marajuana has finally been legalized, which is going to be very good for portland, making it a safer place, make it have happier people that now don't have to hide the fact that they can appreciate a plant that some may call a “drug”. Others, like myself like to think of it as a cure, a medicine, an all natural and organic plant that is less harmful then cigarettes and alcohol. those two things right there are the real drugs; cigarettes tar and feather your lungs, and they do cause cancer. alcohol eats your liver and can permanently delay your synapse. not to mention the fact that alcohol can make you violent, recluse, and depressed. But medical/recreational marajuana makes you happy, relates pain, and the effects on a fully developed brain are so little. people often look at this plant the wrong way. They don't have respect for what it does for people and how it makes them feel. and unlike alcohol and cigs, marajuana is not addictive. it produced a few chemicals that help with chronic pains, anxiety, and also helps recover from more major medical conditions. Some people don't like to find out that there nabbores had an illegal indoor grow going on so that they can sell is illegally, which is why now that its legalized the crime rate for marajuana use is going to go down. because its easier to just walk into a building that supports and more regulated and pure “weed”. i do agree that is should be more like controlled in the way of how its used in public. i think that cigarets do much more harm to your body then marajuana, so i think the legal ages should 100% be switched. and police should in-force underage cigaret smokers more then underage
