Legalization of Marijuana Recently, California has legalized what is considered to be a class one controlled substance, which is marijuana. The topic of legalization has been one of high controversy in recent years. It has been an ongoing debate as to whether it is beneficial to the public and their health, or if it has negative health issues and causes issues such as higher crime. Despite arguments that marijuana is safe and non-addictive, evidence shows there are numerous negative side effects, and can be extremely addictive. Legalization of recreational marijuana in California is going to cause more issues for law enforcement and the legal system because it’s difficult to regulate distribution, causes more crimes, and there’s a higher risk for people to drive under the influence.
