Marijuana has been a controversial topic in Colorado. People here in Colorado divide to supports and opposes. People who disagree with the idea of banning marijuana in Colorado think that trading marijuana increases the economy, so that the government of Colorado earns a lot of money. Colorado government got about $184 million in tax revenue from marijuana, so the government can spend this money to support the education in the area. Other people that think that marijuana should be banned in Colorado think that marijuana should be banned in Colorado for three main points. The first point is that marijuana contributes to raise the traffic death. A study from government program shows that the numbers of drivers who smoke marijuana while driving increased up to 100% between years 2007 and 2012, this is dangerous because the traffic death increases from 37% to 78%. The second point is that marijuana pollutes the environment by causing environmental impacts like high greenhouse gas emissions, irresponsible water use and dangerous fire hazards. The last main point is that marijuana affects people's health negatively in two main ways, which are short and long term effects. A good example of short term effect is getting trouble in recognizing senses of colors and time. A good example of log term effect is that it increasing heart rate, which can kill person.
