    The document argues that marijuana should be legalized for several reasons. It notes that marijuana has medical uses in reducing nausea and stimulating appetite, and is safer than legal substances like alcohol and tobacco, which can be fatally toxic in high amounts. Legalizing marijuana could lower health care costs and reduce illegal crimes by decreasing sales in the illegal market and eliminating criminal organizations that control the illegal drug trade. While marijuana is currently illegal, the document makes the case that it should be legalized given its medical benefits and safety compared to other legal substances.
