Legalizing marijuana could help the world out in some many different ways, for example, the crime rate, the reason I say crime rate there has never been a crime committed while being stoned or hazed so that means less crime would be committed, and also the money the countries could make from selling marijuana. However there are also some bad effects of legalizing marijuana, for example, marijuana contains more cancer causing substances than tobacco smoke. Not only could drug harm you physically also use of the drug heavily could cause major brain damage also I learn from my Biology Mark Vitrone and I quote “Marijuana changes the structure of sperm cells, deforming them. Thus even small amounts of marijuana can cause temporary sterility in men. Marijuana use can upset a woman’s menstrual cycle.”(Vitrone 1) Also their more than the few things I just informed you about, but also short term effects could be caused for example the user feels sleepy or depressed, increase in the user heartbeat, and the user anxiety kicks in.
