MARIJUANA :OUR SAVIOR OR OUR DOOM?q1

in #people7 years ago (edited)

Growing up as a kid, I grew in an area where there is illegal drug trade and excessive smoking of marijuana. Since I was 12 years of age, that have been moving out with friends and some older people in the environment, I wonder what the effect and benefit of marijuana to the smokers and eaters. This has always raised my curiosity because there is always a punishment and campaign against both marijuana sellers and users in my country but from my different questions I was able to know some benefits such as weight loss, reduces risk of diabetes, fights depression and headache, regulate seizure, reduces stress and also reduces cramps
The anti-drug campaign in my country told us that smoking and eating marijuana causes paranoia, disorientation, constant headache and even psychosis to the users in their later days.
This mixed effect of marijuana confuses me and makes me wonder if it's actually good for our health.
I will like to end this with a lyrics from a song by an artist in my country saying " God, u are the creator of herbs and plants, is this creation for us to be smoked?". Song by 9ice
Will be open to ur answers, Is marijuana our savior or our doom?

Sort:  

I read about a survey on the medicinal uses of marijuana, and I began to think; heck, why has the world termed it "illegal". Well, I guess Monopoly of the market by Cigarette companies are to be blamed. My opinion though

I always tell people that just because some people chose to abuse marijuana...does not mean it should be termed illegal.There are people that smoke packs of cigarette that have no medical benefit daily,also its always indicated on cigarette pack that its a health hazard...but I guess thats not enough to label it illegal

Not only the tobacco industry but also the alcohol and paper industry had impact on the legality of marijuana. Since cannabis is a competitor to alcohol and the paper that could be made from hemp would be more environmentally friendly and efficient than wood, alcohol and wood companies had to do something against the competition.

My personal opinion it depends on the situation does marijuana help some people yes definitely its proven in medicial tests is it good for people to smoke daily who are depressed or have a family history of mental disorders i doubt it

So, are u saying only distressed people and people with family history of mental disorders shouldn't smoke?

Honestly i believe people are free to make their own choises about their life i dont judge anyone.
But my personal opinion yes its probably best off if you didnt smoke daily if you suffer an mental illness or are deeply depressed as marijuana in my opinion basic just enhances how you already feel.
Like i said just my own personal opinion and no judgement to people who do
