Marijuana to be legalized

Marijuana has been a crop that's been disapproved by many nations trying to stabilize the society they are trying to fix. The use of marijuana has been abused, sending people over extremes trying to reach an alternative outlet from society when it should be used for medical reasons. From trying to prohibit cannabis, it has further increased the amount of users worldwide instead. Since this also requires the arrest of many, it has been noted that there is an ethnic display at those in possession of marijuana creating a biased with Hispanic or African American people.
Profit would decrease if marijuana were legalized, since people make much more money since it is illegal, reducing the incentive to sell at high rates and steer them into the market economy, allowing them low rates at their abundance. Also, the low rates would stem a smaller flow of money to gangs gaining from the sales, since having it illegal raises the price and thus sending billions of dollars to the gangs.

“Hemp” is a useful substance to use from Marijuana that is developed as a bio-fuel to reduce carbon emissions. In that, legalizing marijuana would issue hemp as a needed agricultural crop in the US. Canada and some of Europe have realized this action without actually legalizing marijuana.
If legalized, marijuana can be used to collect taxes helping government programs. The amount of criminals gradually going up on high rates into prison wont lower if or until marijuana is legalized. The legalization can help realize that taxes can be made from the sales of cannabis and used for the development of the country.
In my opinion, I believe that users won’t stop despite the crop being illegal, the more prisoners fitted in the prisons can only add up to more crimes or worse reputations once they are out, inflicting upon the worse they can input in society than just distributing cannabis or inhaling on their own account. Prison is bound to change any man who enters and they leave more than likely more dangerous.

Drugs



Drugs have caused over 1,000 deaths in just England, not counting the other countries in addition to the harmful effects. There are three types of drugs; Hallucinogens, Stimulants, and Depressants.

Depressants- consisting of alcohol, pot, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, opiates and opioids, and some solvents and inhalants- are known to cause constriction of the pupils, clammy skin, and shallow breathing. But with larger intakes of the substances it can cause vomiting, unconsciousness, and death, after losing coordination and concentration.

 Stimulants- the less harmful being ephedrine, caffeine, and nicotine; more harmful being meth, cocaine, and ecstasy- cause the user's heart rate, body pressure, and blood pressure to increase. With a large intake of the substance it can cause seizures, headaches, paranoia, and more.


Hallucinogens- being LSD, shrooms, mescaline, PCP, and cannabis- cause the pupils to dilate, a loss of appetite, increased activity, sweating, panic, euphoria, disturbance with coming to reality, or bizarre behavior. 50.

Placing in the top of 20 most harmful drugs is heroin, with the ability to be insufflated, injected, smoked, suppository, or oral (oral being the least harmful). Placed the most dangerous because of the high the user wants to reach every time, the only difference that the next high requires a higher dose of heroin.
