California's Prop 64
After nearly a century of misinformation, people have finally taken a look at the war on drugs and found that it’s got some serious problems. Especially weed, which has long been touted as a “gateway drug” that would surely lead to a life of oral sex in back alleys to pay for it. Which is, of course, absurd to anyone who knows anything about marijuana. As a result of this enlightenment, the move to legalize weed as an alternative to alcohol has gained a lot of momentum, aided by the medicinal properties inherent to the plant.

Prescription Meds You Shouldn't Mix with Weed
One of the best things about the legalization push is that people are beginning to really, truly embrace the benefits that marijuana can offer them. We've grown to agree that it's safer than cigarettes, a healthy way to cope with pain, and also can have a huge slew of benefits for people who have health problems.

Ways Cannabis Affects Mental Health
Once upon a time, there was an anti-cannabis propaganda film that was called Reefer Madness. As the name suggests, the entire film was about how marijuana smoking will turn you into a crazed lunatic who may end up killing people as a result of toking up.
