Marijuana is the most commonly abused drug in America and around the world.  It is also the leading cause of drug addiction aside from alcohol in the U.S. Drug addiction also known as substance dependence may lead to marijuana abuse or marijuana dependence.Those supporting the legalization of marijuana, don’t realize it’s major cost. President Barack Obama had been questioned in an interview hosted by Barbara Walters on his opinion on the legalization of Marijuana. He responded “I wouldn’t go that far.” In his past, Obama disclosed that he had used marijuana but regrets that and knows it was a bad decision now. Because of his realization he has chosen to not support the legalization in his office of presidency.

        Marijuana has already been legalized in Colorado and Washington; they became the first states in the U.S . to legalize the usage of marijuana. Marijuana is being legalized for medical reasons, but most people would use it and abuse it. Which is why I don't support the legalization of marijuana because it won't make our society a better place.
