Marijuana. It's an ongoing debate. In this Cause in 60 cannabis supporters fight for their rights to use a natural medicine while others stand firm on their beliefs to criminalize the use of mind altering substances. What do you think? Should it be legal for recreational use, regulated, and taxed to fix our economy? Or should those who inhale deep be put in prison?
