thoughts on legalized marijuana

I recently heard the two states have legalized marijuana. Personally I find this ridicules because even though it makes people feel good if damages their bodies, But I can't blame the government, because it was the people probably that demanded marijuana be legalized even though they don't realize the danger they put themselves in when they use it. I only hope that people use it wisely and when they really need it. I wonder why they did legalize it though. I hope you enjoyed reading this.
