Legalizing marijuana should have been the easiest thing for
the government to agree on. The healthy benefits itself should be the main
reasons they would want to legalize it, also the amount of money they would
make from smokers' shops and save from housing prisoners that have minor
chargers. A lot of people think that cannabis is bad but there are a lot of
people who think that it is good, including medical professionals. There are a
few states who have passed laws for medical purposes and aliments. I believe
that legalizing marijuana in all states can benefit and heal like it has been
doing just legally.
Although, we all know that legalization of marijuana has
been a seemingly debatable topic. Most individuals think is bad and it should
not be legalized. As I stated, previously there are some health benefits to
marijuana (debatable or not). Marijuana has been used to treat medical
conditions and symptoms. It has been known to help cancer patients, pain, and
anxiety. These symptoms can also be part of some physical and mental
conditions.
If used properly it can have some positive effects. Most
people associate cannabis with just getting high or going on trip. However, it
helps the body relax, relive stress and calm the mind. Some studies have shown
that it does not kill brain cells…like most people would have you to believe
(and those are usually non-smokers). It can help an individual with creative
energy which allows them to produce great work.Think of this question; if
marijuana is so bad for individuals then why does most physicians oftentimes
prescribe to cancer patients, aids patients, migraines, and glaucoma.
Marijuana may have some negative effects to compared to some
other drugs it may be the less harmful. There are so many other drugs that are
so much more addictive. For example: alcohol has been known as one of the most
highly addictive negative effect on individuals and the community. Alcohol has
caused more car crashes and deaths than marijuana. Marijuana has come nowhere
near those leading causes of death.
Recently, there has been a major wave in CBD products. The
CBD fad has gain major popularity in most states due having legalized medical
and recreational cannabis. This wave has caused more people to feel freer to
consume these products. Most individuals are going back to the flower child
era”.
In
closing, just about anything and everything can be detrimental to our health.
Over indulge (in eating), shopping, video games, edibles, CBD, these are just a
few. I’m sure you get the point! Yes, there some negative effects to marijuana,
but it more like grandma on skates than grandma on a roller coaster. The best
way for individuals to feel comfortable about smoking openly, the State of
Texas definitely need to look into implementing and legalizing marijuana. This
will also, cut down smuggling drugs across the border.
Some
supporters say “we should begin to reflect that reality in our state and
federal legislation, and stop acting as if otherwise law-abiding marijuana
smokers are part of the crime problem. They are not, and it is absurd to
continue using law enforcement resources arresting them.” (Gary) Many advocates
also say, “Far more harm is caused by marijuana prohibition than by marijuana
itself.”(Gary)
The legalization of marijuana is a very debatable subject. Many people
