Topic : Marijuana should be legalized in NYS due to the economic benefit

In order to discuss this topic I need to do the following:
- research more about marijuana
- answer these questions :
--> what is marijuana
--> what substances does marijuana have
--> what is marijuana used for
--> why it is not legal at the moment
--> does each state have the same marijuana laws
--> why should it be legal [due to the economic benefit]
--> why it should not be legal
--> what is economic benefit
--> what will be the result of marijuana becoming legal
--> how might the government react to the outcome/result
--> how might it affect the people
--> what are the penalties of using marijuana at the moment
