There are many valid reasons why marijuana should be legalized in Pennsylvania. There has never been a death from overdose from marijuana and according to www.huffingtonpost.com over 40 percent of Americans have already confessed to smoking. Coffee is more addictive than THC and is safer than any other legalized drugs. This is because it has a very low risk or abuse. A few examples of very famous and successful people are Martha Stuart, Morgan Freeman, and Rush Limbaugh. 

Marijuana has many benefits as well. It is a very safe and useful sleep aid. According to www.hightimes.com it could be taxed to support beneficial government programs. This website also says that the legalization of THC would reduce the flow of money from the American economy to international criminal gangs.

Marijuana being illegal is actually very expensive and dangerous too according to www.mjlegal.org. Blacks and hispanics are greatly effected with them being the most arrested racial groups because of the biased and prejudiced against minorities law enforcers. The prohibition of marijuana only makes people want it more and the people will fight until they get what they want. It is obviously clear that the legalization of THC would benefit us so much and would not be harmful.
