Marijuana. Good or evil? Is it a medicine for those who are sick? A fun, safe recreational activity or a harmful drug? The decriminalization of pot in states like California over the past couple of years has helped those unfamiliar with the stuff become aware of its positive effects, while marijuana advocates continue to spread the word and educate others on the same issues.
