A number of territories, district and well over twenty states in the US have legalized recreational use of canabis.But considering it's many negative health implications,is it a step in the right direction or is it completely risky to continue legalizing it?
What's your take?
I don't have anything against moderate use of marijuana because it's just like alcohol. When used in moderately the user can be able to control his behavior or other activities. I have observed that the prohibition of the use of marijuana always give rise to the use of other dangerous drugs tht cannot be easily dictated.
Law enforcement agencies can easily arrest someone smoking marijuana but it would be very difficult to identify someone that puts few hard drugs into his mouth. Apart from the health problems associated with smoking and the abuse of marijuana, I think legalizing it might reduce dangerous drug trafficking and use.
