Is marijuana really bad for
you? This is what I questioned myself in the 8th grade as I went
through many D.A.R.E sessions and society was saying that it was a bad thing. I
eventually went to high school and was peer pressured but always turned it down
because of what society told me. Well one day in college, I needed an essay
topic to research and I thought this was a great idea. As I researched it I saw
a lot of pros of using this “drug” and very little cons. A few cons that I saw
was smoking it leads to lung cancer. Scientifically it is right because smoking
anything can lead to lung cancer. Its not the plant but it’s the smoke. Smoking
water vapor could also result in lung cancer because its still smoke. Another
con I saw was focused on people who smoke through plastic bongs. Such as water
bottles created to smoke out of. Many pros are that cancer patients use this
plant to gain appetite. After cancer patients go through chemotherapy, it usually
kills the appetite and the plant brings it back. Another pro is that it can be
a bonus to the economy. Have you noticed that the things that actually can kill
you are legal? Such as liquor is legal, cancer sticks also known as cigarettes
are legal. If marijuana was legal, then it would be easily accessible and a tax
could be placed on it to make money.
How do you feel about
marijuana and the effects?
How do you feel about how the
plant is placed under the societal damage?
Why do you think its not
fully legal yet?
I agree that marijuana has more pro's than con's. I feel like the only reason its illegal is because of the governments greed, fear, and racist background. For a long time, marijuana was legal. It wasn't until the government realized how much money it was bringing in that they tried to regulate it.
ReplyDeleteLiving in California, I am personally not against marijuana. It has a lot of benefits and I think its illegal because of its recreation use. The legality of marijuana would I think cause even younger people to start trying it. Also its effects, although not bad, are not conducive for a busy schedule because of the sleepy side effect.
ReplyDeleteI do believe that it would make a lot of money and the government should consider it. Marijuana is sold for medical use and is proven to help people. If they did legalize it I believe it should be limited.
