Why are so many opposed to Marijuana? Why do a lot of people label it a drug? Why are there so many laws against it? Why has it gained such a bad reputation?
As you may know, marijuana is an illegal plant (not drug) that has been outlwed by the country. I really do not understand why though. I believe marijuana is not a drug, but a plant. How can you make something that just grows illegal? That is like making fruit illegal because it is not helping with the obesity problem in the United States.
I know many people who love marijuana, whether they are smoking it or not. It is completely natural. It has been proven by many studies to treat various illnesses and diseases. It has helped people deal with stress, loss of apetite, cancer, aids, chronic pain, lack of sleep, and many other other illnesses. Did I mention that the plant is all natural?
Many people however, are opposed to the drug because it is bad for you. They claim that the marijuana plant is not good for your memory or your motivation in the long run. And in addition to that, many people have said that marijuana does not help and is not a good medinice for people to use. How can they say that when there have been studies by credible institues and researchers. I don’t understand why people have so much against it.
Everyday you hear of people overdosing on other drugs, like alcohol and prescription medicine. Too much of anything will hurt, and I hate to say, the same goes for marijuana. But hear this. Many people have died of an overdose of alcohol, which is man made and legal. You have also heard of may people who have died of overdoses of prescription medicine, which is also man made and illegal. But not once have you heard or anybody overdosing on marijuana have you? It is pretty ironic. Why make illegal the one thing natural enough to save and treeat lives?
Maybe it is because America is not uready for such a huge step forward. Or maybe it is because America cant stand to see real people be really happy. America really needs to think about this one. Just like alcohol in the prohibition, it is going to keep coming. Youre not going to stop the flow of it. Why? Because people want it and love it. Just because America is not making any money from it does not mean it should keep it illegal.
