Okay, will you just listen...? Will you just try and here me out? Marijuana is a drug that should be legalized. Why? There are multiple reasons and the pros most definitely outweigh the cons; yet, the main reason is money. I mean think of all the taxed marijuana we would have to regenerate the economy. And I mean what a good reason…huh. Why marijuana? Well, besides for its medical use to help with nausea with chemotherapy, reduce the pressure in the eye with glaucoma, and weight loss with AIDS. Mary Jane will relax you and put a smile on your face and you won’t even have to buy her dinner! I see a lot of people go about their day depressed and at least by taking this drug it will loosen people up. Of course there are dangers that go with marijuana such as you shouldn’t take it at work or while you are driving because it has a tendency of making you tired. But, there are a lot of things that lead up to you becoming exhausted.
There are two way if not any other ways to take this drug either by ingesting or smoking. After getting it in your body somehow you are going to be pretty hunger. That is why I think anorexic people should ingest or smoke marijuana and won’t have a weight problem anymore. Just a suggestion… Anyway, after you eat, you will probably laugh (hurting pretty much all your muscles inside of you) yourself to sleep. What is one more drug? The FDA already has America hooked on so many drugs; at least, this one will cheer you up. For example, look at Congress and how uptight they look, the need to smoke a lot of pot to deal with America’s issues. Another side effect is hallucinations but that is really if the drug is laced with something but I have heard stories. This drug is sold illegally a lot in America, why not make it legal and tax it! I am sorry there is one more side effect is forgetfulness. I’m sorry, what was I talking about…..

In my classmates blog post Necessary Change 24/7 the question of the legalization of marijuana was raised. As a high school student in the 70's and as a young adult I used to believe the drug was harmless. What I learned over the years is the drug has an insidious way of creating apathy in chronic users. I do agree there may be benefits to its legalization. A resource for taxes and medical uses does make sense. A cleaner drug would be possible, free from pesticides, mold, insects and other pollutants that are directly contributed by the illegal smuggling tactics used to mass market the drug. A product more pure may do less harm to the lungs if smoked. Like alcohol, the sale should be restricted. More patients would be comfortable using the drug for medical uses if legalized. Controlling strength of drug would be easier in a lab. We aren't going to stop people from using this drug, we may as well try to control the quality of it for health reasons and take money away for drug cartels.
ReplyDeleteMaking Marijuana legal does not make sense even though my friend in Necessary Change 24/7 points out a number of medical conditions that could be fixed by it. First of all there are other drugs out there that people with chemo, anorexia, and depression can take without being "doped up". Secondly, alcohol and nicotine are causing lots of mental health issues and health issues already. Should we just throw "Mary Jane" in the mix and make it worse? I am a chemical dependency nurse and I think alcohol and mood altering drugs must be illegal. The effects of addiction are devastating for the addict as well as family, friends, and society. What we need is another "Temperance Movement", not another drug to make us feel better.
