Topic > Marijuana: A Benefit or Gateway Drug - 865

'Cannabis'- a wonderful plant, commonly known for its by-products such as marijuana, hashish, hemp oil, etc. It is the most popular medicinal plant. These products are often used for their psychoactive effects. This may include an increase in mood or euphoria, relaxation, and an increased appetite. The popularity of marijuana has increased widely these days among all age groups. Smoker's says: "There is no harm in smoking marijuana, as it is not addictive, relaxes the body and connects you to your soul, while non-smokers say: "There is no reason why one should smoke it because it is a drug passing by. .” Those who have never experienced the euphoria caused by weed before may make mistakes in understanding these psychoactive effects. For a fair conclusion, we must be honest enough with our perception towards cannabis. Since the beginning of the 20th century, most countries have enacted laws against the cultivation and use of cannabis. Before prohibition, marijuana had many other medical purposes besides smoking. However, in the contemporary world marijuana and its by-products are used more for smoking than for any other purpose. Marijuana is everywhere, with a wide variety of strains. However, the question is not how to cultivate or obtain it; The question is: why is marijuana so popular around the world? It is mainly used for recreational purposes. I smoked weed for the first time in my twenties. I was working with IBM in those days. I still remember my friend asking me to take a walk outside the office during the night shift. Unaware of his plan, I prepared myself as I was planning to take a break anyway. We took a place to sit in the garden hiding in the bushes. My friend took out a few varieties and started mashing them. I was surprised to see it... half a sheet... I'm damned what the data indicates. In my opinion, this is the real problem where teenagers stop caring about what medical science says or what their parents want them to understand. This careless attitude makes them more careless towards the world. Following a healthy diet and routine exercise can help teen smokers bring their IQ level back to normal, as there is almost no evidence to show that marijuana can cause any kind of permanent damage to the brain. However, the risk of other types of difficulties discussed above is always present. The criminalization of marijuana has added the risk of adolescent interaction with drug dealers which can later become a gateway to hard drugs. There can be no permanent solution to teen involvement other than spreading awareness and educating teens about marijuana. Works Cited http://learnaboutmarijuanawa.org/factsheets/adolescents.htm
