I agree. If we would legalize marijuana kids would see older brothers or people they look up to doing it and would want to get into drugs right away without knowing what it does to their body. When kids grow up around smoking they tend to smoke when they get older and it would work the same way with drugs.
Showing other countries that we are a strong and confident country does not mean we are imperialistic. If the countries were not in the best of shape we helped them rise above were they were. Many countries are better now sence we helped them then before where they were struggling to keep people alive.
