Powerful reasons for legalizing Marijuana

Today since marijuana could become an addiction because of recreational use like alcohol and tobacco, some of the authorities are not willing to legalize it.

Moreover, marijuana can be consumed in the form of tea which is not at all carcinogenic.
In terms of addiction, marijuana is less addictive than alcohol or nicotine. Despite this fact, cigarettes and alcohol still remain legal, whereas marijuana is falsely thought to be dangerous over health.
