Legalizing Marijuana

My colleague Tina ,talks about a national U.S topic that has been going on for years. It is true that as the years go on, marijuana has increased its supporters for legalizing marijuana.  Tina's question is should marijuana be legalized? I personally believe that marijuana should not be legalized. I believe that marijuana should be passed as a medical purpose only to help people with any medical conditions. Medical marijuana has been used to help cure cancer and glaucoma but for patients in research situations. Other than that, people are just gonna use marijuana for recreational purposes.  

I agree with Tina that marijuana should not be legalized for consumption of any kind because of the lasting effect on the human brain. I recommend that she brings up more sources as to why else it should not be legalized besides effecting the brain. Also, she need to go further explaining the case of Gonzales v. Raich , as to what the outcome was of the case.
