If marijuana were to be legalized, consumption of it would likely increase. Along with that would likely come health and community costs: increase in accidents due to motor impairment, increase in associated illnesses such as cancer, as is the case with cigarette smoking, as well as the multiple hospitalizations and surgeries often accompanying those addicted to nicotine. Marijuana is not harmless; it is addictive, and it does affect the brain.
Somany people may be consuming these product why others using it either for medical purpose.Some other case where children of lower of 10 to 16 are found Smoking marijuana because they either saw their friends doing same or just to show others they are big enough without knowing the effect of marijuana to their health.
But here the question is Do you Stand for OR Against Marijuana?What are your reason for standing Against or For?
your kids can get it
ReplyDeleteAs In-School Suspension Supervisor in a Canadian Middle School of fewer than 700 students I was aware of over 40 students who actively sold marijuana at school. Administration would not address this as an issue as it "would open Pandora's Box" in our school system. Those 5+% of students selling marijuana at school had no rules or limits as long as no staff saw the drug and only risked losing what staff saw with no other consequence if caught. If you don't think that your kids can get it - you are wrong. If 40+ out of 700- are SELLING it, how many are smoking it?
Decriminalize
ReplyDeleteIt would cut down on prison space by legalizing marijuana. I've been smoking for over 20 years, and I live a productive life. I've been lucky at times being caught with weed and the cop only gviving me a ticket or confiscating my stash. There are hundred of thousands of loset smokers who live a productive life. They don't step up because they're afraid.
Hemp
ReplyDeleteAnother reason pot should be legal is for hemp. Hemp is marijuana not used for smoking but to create products. It can make paper, clothing, fiberboard twice as strong as wood and much much more. It is illegal to grow because it is lumped in with marijuana. This has caused one of the most helpful plants to be inuseable which causes us to chop down trees. Legalize it and go green!
