One argument that cannot be used as an argument for legalization is the fact that cannabis is natural. Nobody cares about that, because as far as they're concerned, there are natural plants that can be very harmful - not just man-made things. I see that this argument is being made in your book.

In the section titled "Current status, Laws and cited laws and non-represented laws," I noticed that you put up a chart that compares the different effects of cannabis and alcohol. Sorry to say this, but I have seen this chart on a website, and I don't see that cited in the text (as far as I know).

Cannabis and alcohol have actually been used for thousands of years, not hundreds. The statement that they have been in use for "hundreds" of years, rather than "thousands," definitely takes away the credibility of you and your writing. Therefore, not many people are going to take what you say seriously.

I see that you have cited texts from the Bible. But why? In reality, an argument for legalization based on religion, and how cannabis was used in Biblical times, is far from any good argument for legalization.

What I think really needs to be argued about is not how cannabis is not very harmful in comparison to legal drugs, but rather how the illegalization of cannabis, and all drugs, has only proliferated the drugs, and even the use of drugs. This would also include the crime escalation between gangs and drug businesses that will defend their bottom line with guns and violence. Another argument that needs to be seen more is that the constitution supports drug use, given that one is not hurting or violating anybody else's freedoms (stated in the ninth and tenth amendments). These amendments are, however, disregarded, as the DEA would then be deemed unconstitutional, as well as the laws themselves. Really, and I'm sure everyone here knows this, the laws are not based on the "bad" effects of cannabis. They're based on a political agenda that does not necessarily care about the freedoms of the people, but more-so the ruling elite class.
