The legalization ofcannabis could be beneficial in multiple ways.It infuriates me that children are not properly informed about Marijuana or what it's bonuses are. Marijuana benefits cancer patients that are currently receiving chemo-therapy. Not to mention how many times it has been proven to not be hurtful to brain cells or produce any physical or mental damage to the users. Not to mention how much money marijuana is draining tax payer's money. Dealers of Marijuana are formerly arrested, due to this it wastes police officer's time that could be focused on rapists, killers, and other illegal drugs.Serious drugs like methamphetamine and heroin ARE out there while time is being spent on harmless users of marijuana.

Our goal at Legalize Maryland is to have marijuana legalized for everyone. We believe marijuana is a harmless drug that if legalized for medicaluse and recreational use could benefit the community. We cannot do this alone we need petition signatures of dedicated people who feel strongly on the topic. We need people that are serious and dedicated to the legalization of marijuana to help us spread the word.

THANKS!
