In this essay I will try to state my opinion accurately upon my thoughts of
            
 legalizing marijuana.  I will try to argue my opinion with these three strong
            
 topics or arguments.  Marijuana is a god given plant and has no right to be
            
 illegal in this country or any part of the world.  It's proven by scientists and
            
 test subjects that marijuana has no long term effect on the brain or anything

 papers or news about a person on marijuana getting into a car accident.
            
 	Secondly, it is proven that marijuana does no brain damage.  Recently a test
            
 was done with four people.  First the scientists took their Intelligent Quotient scores before
            
 they were on marijuana.  Second, they put the subjects on marijuana and took
            
 their IQ scores again.  Their scores dramatically dropped.  They scientists took
            
 the subjects off marijuana and took their IQ scores three months after the date
            
 that they stopped smoking marijuana.  Their IQ scores were the same as the time
            
 before they started smoking marijuana.  Therefore, m
