MARIJUANA LEGALITY

Haguma Robert reveals that public policies are designed to solve social problems or exploit opportunities that can avail themselves for the improvement of social welfare. Recently, marijuana policy project becomes the most flourishing political topic in some states. There are many opinions that emerge to support and refute legal marijuana laws. In this article, we will discuss why all citizens have to stand against marijuana legality.

US Drugs Enforcement Administration reveals that marijuana is a dangerous, addictive drug that poses significant health threats to users. Marijuana will bring many health consequences to its users. Marijuana tends to give bad impacts to physical and mental tenacity. The physical effects include a faster heartbeat and pulse rate, bloodshot eyes, and a dry mouth and throat, decrease of motor skills and muscle strength. According to the National Institutes of Health, the long term effects of marijuana usage can be equal with the effects of a full pack cigarettes usage. Marijuana contains more than 400 chemicals, including most of harmful cancer-causing chemicals in tobacco smoke. Besides, marijuana also becomes the disruptive chemical that can encourage the loss of psychological tenacity. It includes the acute panic anxiety reaction and the weakness to protect memory and thinking. They also tend to get trouble in problem solving, brain optimization, and synchronization system.
Before many information elaborating marijuana, it is not small number of people that believe the notion that marijuana increase crime rates only due to its restrictions to possess, manufacture, or distribute it. Therefore, people cannot be said that they break the laws if there is no policy that governs a drugs’ use. However, the fact tells that marijuana also have a potential for violence, traffic accidents and the other kind of crimes. Marijuana is a dangerous addictive drug that encourages the loss of users’ consciousness. Therefore, it also implicitly relates to the crime caused by the lacks of users’ awareness of marijuana’s users. Bureau of Justice Statistics shows that the 24.5 percent of Federal and 29 percent of State prison inmates reported being under the influence of drugs when committing violent offences. Another fact is that marijuana affects influence humans’ alertness, ability to concentrate, coordination, and reaction time.  In a 1990 report, the National Transportation Safety Board proved that most fatal truck accidents were caused by drivers using marijuana. In other words, marijuana can be called as crime related drugs because of its usage and impacts.
National Institute of Drug Abuse asserts that the use of marijuana can produce adverse physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral effects. Because marijuana affects brain systems needed by all humans to think, it will specifically be critical threat for students that are very requested for their healthy brain to comprehend academic stuff. Marijuana can impede teens' ability to learn. It causes the lacks of thinking ability, reading comprehension, and verbal and mathematical skills. The low academically scored students are more likely to involve with marijuana than the students that achieve the high score in class. It will be a problematic for country because teenagers will inherit and shape country’s future. In brief, it is supposed to be the main national concern to guarantee teenagers’ education and life.
Proponents of marijuana legality argue that the government could earn money from taxes on marijuana sale. The government could gain many dollars from the taxes it could impose on its sale. Furthermore, it will also help country to support economy through its supplying of job vacancy. New industrial will make the burgeoning new jobs for many citizens. Nevertheless, the terrible marijuana impacts can achieve the highest peak than its profit to country. It will make profit but it will also request more fund to solve the problem caused by marijuana legality. It will demand fund to bring to justice someone that gets trouble because of marijuana. Also, government should provide more fund to rehabilitate marijuana users from them dependence of its drugs. Violence and country’s damage will request for much more donations to cover up all of marijuana relating accidents.
Another notion claims that marijuana contains the useful medical substance that outweighs its potential abuse. Marijuana is considered as the most necessary chemical that is capable to support the healing progress of a patient. However, that invalid opinion is refuted by the fact there are many more efficacious substance except marijuana that can be used for medical necessity. The Institute of Medicine concluded that smoking marijuana is not recommended for the treatment of any disease condition. In addition, there are more effective medications currently available. For those reasons, the Institute of Medicine concluded that there is little future in smoked marijuana as a medically approved medication.
In conclusion, many citizens should support to illegalize marijuana. The high dangerous risk can be avoided through the making of its law. Government is expected to use its authority to regulate the issue of marijuana.
