This question brings a lot of discussion because alcohol causes people to become aggressive and have violent behavior, while marijuana calms people down making them feel relaxed. Many people die due to alcohol consumption. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that more than 37,000 annual deaths in the United States are due to alcohol consumption alone. Marijuana is one of the least toxic drugs. Many believe that marijuana kills brain cells while others believe that it does not. All fifty states should legalize weed and see the changes it brings. If weed is legal in other states, why isn't it legalized in New York City? I think if weed was legalized in New York it would be easier for the NYPD. They shouldn't have to worry about arresting people because of weed. They might be worried about something bigger than someone smoking weed. Many people smoke marijuana daily and it would be easier for them if it were legal. If weed were legal, many people wouldn't have to worry about police arresting them or having to hide all the time
