The question to legalize drugs is not a hard one. Drugs are one of the most
             common used illicit items in the United States today. Legalizing drugs or not
             has been questioned and discussed so often on television, books, and
             newspapers. Gore Vidal noted in "Drugs" "Simply make all drugs available and
             sell them at cost." However, simply because of the lack of researching and the
             misunderstanding of the usage and effect of drugs, the writer misdirected his
             readers on the issue of drug legalization.
             First of all, writer pointed out that marijuana is actually not dangerous.
             However, earlier research has found that smoking marijuana increases the chance

             who smoke marijuana inhale more deeply and hold their breath longer than
             tobacco smokers do, which increases the lung's exposure to carcinogenic smoke.
             These facts suggest that, unquestionably, smoking marijuana may increase the
             risk of cancer more than smoking tobacco and cause great damage to the body
             which rejects the writer's idea of "marijuana is not dangerous".
             The writer also stated that marijuana is not addictive. Experts who worked on
             the Center for substance Abuse Treatment project consider however consider
             marijuana both psychologically and physiologically addictive. Over 52 percent
             of the youthful marijuana users who were involved in this project were shown to
             have dependence problem after using marijuana which rejects writer's idea of
             marijuana as non-addictive substances and proves that the writer is misleading
             his reader on the drug legalization issue.
             As many would probably point out that the United State was the creation of men
             who believed that each man has the right to do what he wants with his own life
