I Think Marijuana Should Be Legalized

I think that Marijuana should be legalized but under totally different rules and regulations than it is now in some states.
It should only be bought in a drug store and no where else. You should have to be able to have a prescription from your doctor.
It is good to treat many different kinds of illnesses but for it to show up in little shops here and there no way. We are having a drug epidemic now but people who can actually benefit from it by all means they should be able to obtain it.

It used to be only available for medicinal use in my state. We were initially told that it would be compassionate to allow doctors to prescribe it for people suffering from nausea, pain and wasting due to terminal cancer and HIV. That was acceptable to voters, and so there was a foot in the door; the next thing, doctors were writing scripts for pain management due to injuries, than to sprains, then for depression and anxiety. And then “doctors” were offering script for anyone willing to pay. Legalizing it for recreational use in 2017 was merely a logical progression from where we were headed all along.
