THE LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA IN THE STATE OF    COLORADO 

January 2014 was a huge break when they legalized marijuana in the state of Colorado. They legalized weed for the state of Colorado as a way to raise money for the state, by taxing marijuana. There is many opinions,arguments, and debates on legalizing marijuana in Colorado. Coming from a young teenage girl, who has seen more than she probably should have, I believe this legalization of being able to go to your local establishment and buying pot is alarming because it could lead to more extensive use and lead to more bad habits and more serious drugs. I'm 99 percent sure the state of Colorado was high off of marijuana when deciding whether it should be legal or not. I do in fact believe that if you have some sort of illness and are in need of medical Marijuana then by all means you may get some from your doctor. But if not, you shouldn't be able to just pick some up and get blazed for no reason.
