As Steven Levitt proved in his book "Freakonomics," abortion can increase crime rates. Unwanted children born into financially or socially incapable families are more likely to become miscreants in the future. Mothers should have the liberty to do anything with their child. Not having abortion in suitable cases may actually be detrimental to mothers' health. Although abortion can be considered as "murder", these children have potential to kill even more people in the future.
The fact is, Marijuana is more of a "gateway drug" than a harmful, dangerous drug. Marijuana leads you to take more serious (and potentially dangerous) drugs. It has been known for a long time that marijuana has the ability to cure diseases (the medicine that Franklin Roosevelt took contained marijuana, albeit in small quantity). As long as people can restrict themselves to only taking marijuana or less serious drugs, marijuana should be legal.
First of all, making drug illegal restricts people's liberty, which has been the foundation of the US constitution and beliefs for hundreds of years. People should have the freedom to do what they want with the drugs. Secondly, a lot of drugs can cure people's diseases and the government can disapprove of the usage of harmful/gateway drugs such as cocaine by limiting people's access. However, this does not mean that the government should prohibit drugs at all. Once again, let people do whatever they want.
