Marijuana carries the same health risks as smoking, and has similar effects to alcohol on mental capacity. Although it's said that Marijuana can result in hallucination if you smoke a mass quantity. But then, a side effect of mass intake of alcohol is death. Marijuana has no risk of physical addiction. You can become mentally addicted to marijuana, but then you can become mentally addicted to just about anything.... like smoking, drinking, or World of Warcraft.
I see no reason why marijuana shouldn't be legalized, it's no more dangerous that smoking or alcohol. however you could just as easily say that alcohol and smoking should be illegal. It's all dangerous and shortens your life expectancy, but hey, it's your body. Marijuana should be legalized, but since I don't smoke it, I don't care either way.
