Marijuana Is Harmful To Life

Marijuana is one of the most popular drugs abused. They might be using this drug because of myths prevail. Due to these false beliefs many innocent people are addicted to marijuana and spoiling their life. The fact is that addicting to marijuana is harming our-self. Although "the marijuana problem" may be viewed as of recent origin, marijuana is not a new drug. The cannabis plant has been cultivated and used both for its intoxicating properties and for its fiber.

Many people believe that marijuana is harmless. Marijuana offenses are not severely punished. Few marijuana law violators are arrested and hardly anyone goes to prison. This lenient treatment is responsible for marijuana's continued availability and use. Under the influence of marijuana, people are unable to think rationally and intelligently. Chronic marijuana use causes permanent mental impairment.

Marijuana has no medicinal value. Safer, more effective drugs are available, including a synthetic version of THC. Marijuana makes users passive, apathetic, and uninterested in the future. Students who use marijuana become underachievers and workers who use marijuana become unproductive.
