Around 100 million Americans smoke marijuana.
More Americans think the use of Marijuana should be
legalized amid efforts by the US lawmakers across many
states to decriminalize the medical use of the substance.
A recent Gallup poll indicates that more than 4 in ever 10
Americans � around 44 percent #0151; maintain that marijuana
should be legalized. The figure is up from 36 percent in
2005 and 31 percent in 2000.
"The war on drugs has failed and we feel marijuana should be
taxed and regulated like alcohol, so it will be a much safer
process," Kurt Gardinier from Marijuana Policy Project
(MPP), which is lobbying lawmakers to make marijuana legal
in the US, told Press TV's Rhonda Pence.
The MPP says around 100 million Americans smoke marijuana
and 15 million smoke it on a monthly basis.
The US Federal law prohibits using Marijuana, but under the
administration of President Barack Obama, steps have been
taken to ease the use of medical marijuana.
Considering the growing interest in the medical benefits of
marijuana (cannabis), many studies have reported the
compound to be effective in treating appetite loss,
glaucoma, nausea and vomiting, pain and weight loss. Its
active chemicals are also reported to be effective in
reducing the size of various types of tumors particularly
prostate malignancies.
Opponents of medical marijuana, however, stress on the
short- and long-term side effects of the compound including
memory and learning problems, distorted perceptions, trouble
thinking, loss of coordination and increased heart rate.
Similar to smokers, marijuana users are at a greater risk of
developing respiratory problems such as coughing, wheezing
and lung infections.
Some lawmakers say marijuana could be sold in state liquor
stores and customers who buy it could be taxed.

A government, of Israel, by Israel, and, for: Israel.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the
light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. The light shineth
in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not. The light of the body is
the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full
of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of
darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great
is that darkness!
Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light. For my yoke is easy, and my
burden is light.
