Drug have been banned in our country but i want to try weed. somebody says weeds efect is very goood

You are a clear example of why drugs should be banned. Why do you need to try them. You cannot find another way to relax? Believe me in our world a lot of good things. Drugs enslave the will of man. You need it?

Drugs are prone to abuse, but many drugs have very powerful uses too.

Marijuana is a kiddie drug. A lot of people spend their teen years stoned.
but
It is also a useful medicine for cancer patients and many others. The marijuana plant has a lot of value in diseases that are otherwise poorly treated by conventional medicine. Synthetic chemicals used to treat the maladies marijuana is useful for are full of bad side effects.

Opium is very addictive, but it is a powerful pain reliever and has a strong psychological use for its tendency to create dreams that overwhelm the mind without clouding it. Synthetic and heavily modified opiates are a very poor substitute for opium, and if opium were legal the multi billion dollar commercial opiate industry would disappear overnight, along with all the crime it causes.

Peyote has a strong psychological effect that most rare users say is beneficial, just as acid users claim that lsd opens their mind to understanding things, but peyote has traditions that give it something more useful than lab made lsd.

A person should be able to try what they want, as long as they are aware of the risks and dangers. Creating a false world where plants that effect the mind are nonexistent is silly. Some people will go overboard, others will learn, the effects on society are favorable compared to prohibition.

I think that the big part of the drugs problem, is that young people are trying it before they become adults.
The parents are always worried about this, and they demand to not make drugs legal, and they want to protect their kids right?

But forbidding them makes only things worse.
The crime gangs are more and more powerful thanks to the money from drug business, civils have to contact with criminals to get weed or cocaine.
After that, they may go to jail for possesion, which is a very stupid thing.

Why the society needs to pay for someone who is taking drugs?
That is an adult, so he is on his own, we shouldn't punish him for taking something he want to take, even when the law forbids that.
