Not Legalizing Marijuana
How would you like if you saw marijuana being sold in stores or on the streets and the police can't do anything about it? I believe that marijuana shouldn't be legalized. Others say that marijuana will help the economy, create more jobs and will be used in medical use. Yes, I agree that it will raise money but that isn't going to fix everything. Supporters of this issue do a good job of making points but they down play the risks of legalization. Making marijuana available for medical use is a humane and sensible policy, and also the likelihood of wider use and abuse of this drug. Legalizing marijuana simply allows adults to get high legally and this isn't worth the fixed cost.
Marijuana is an addictive gateway drug. This drug impairs bodily and mental function and its use is related to increase violence. Clinical studies reveal that long-term moderate consumption of the drug impairs short-term memory, slow reaction time, increase the risk of heart attacks, and can result in birth defects, strokes, and damage to the respiratory system and brain. Legalization supporters Note that alcohol and tobacco are addictive, yet legal. Yes but marijuana is more likely to lead to addiction and also to other more dangerous drugs. One study found that more than 30% of adults who use marijuana in the course of the year became dependent on it, exhibiting compulsive behavior and signs of withdrawal. National research Council has stated that the long-term use of marijuana may alter the nervous system in ways that promote violence. Marijuana is a dangerous drug, There are less dangerous drugs or medicines offering the same relief or to relieve pain of the illness. 3-4 marijuana cigarettes a day is the same as 20 or more tobacco cigarettes a day. Cannabis or marijuana is a mixture of over 400 chemicals and has toxic psychoactive chemicals Better known as THC. THC is said to link to cancer.
