Time and time again most pot smokers ask themselves why or when
marijuana should be legalized. Most people haven’t thought of the effects
that Marijuana can have besides the usual ones. This isn’t a cry for
legalizing the sticky green but an insight on the effects of what some say
is the most powerful plant on earth.
What would happen if marijuana was legalized? Would everybody
become a pot head, drug dealer, or a drug lord? This legalization would
inevitably add a new and powerful industry to our draining economy.
Drugs are already a legalized and powerful industry, well, the
pharmaceutical industry. You have a headache? Go buy some Tylenol and
take a couple of doses here and there and your headache will go away.
Sounds effective right? How about this: have a long day at work? Go buy
some Marijuana from your local Walgreens or Rite Aid, take a couple of
hits here and there and your stress will go away.
What would this create? Many problems as they would say. But, it would
also create many solutions. Then again, more solutions create more
problems and so on and so on. Well we deal with that kind of stuff
everyday right? It is what life is all about. Now, we’re not saying go shoot
your neighbor because he’s playing his music too loud. There are some
things you just have to draw the line on and think about the
consequences of crossing that line. What would happen if we crossed
this line? Well these are some of things (among others) that would
happen if we all crossed the Marijuana line and legalized the damn plant:
We would create a powerful industry. The Marijuana Industry as opposed
to the Tobacco Industry. Marijuana companies would be popping up like
weeds! Along with creating an industry would be creating a workforce.
Farm lands would be needed as well as the laborers needed to help
grow and distribute the plant. Pharmaceutical companies would then
distribute the plant to pharmacies like Rite Aid or Walgreens and these
places are going to need an extra helping hand too. The needed
expertise of Marijuana would then have its effects on Universities,
Community Colleges, and Certificate Programs. They are going to call on
the experts to help teach classes for our future pharmacists of tomorrow.
This will increase enrollment which helps the local economy as well.
Purchasing Marijuana and paying a proposed Marijuana Tax would be
great for the economy but that’s if we can get our politicians to stop
digging their hands into these tax buckets.
Socially this can create a good vibe. Smokers would be largely at peace
and depart from conflict with other members of our society due to its
relaxing effects. This can be an important result to the use of Marijuana
as we are a society in which conflicts are always arising and ongoing. We
would be eating more often and spending money on munchies is always
good for the economy.
Although you may see some positive outcomes by throwing this plant into
the front lines of our economy there are some consequences that we
must reap. Whether or not you may think this is a gateway drug it still
has some casualties. There are many people out there that may think
their body is immune to the drugs that surround them because this green
plant had no effect on them. Their invincibility may be the case when it
comes to Marijuana but not for other illegal substances. Drugs are too
powerful for the human body and mind. We were not made to for it.
This legalizing case also brings up notions of health problems like heart
disease due to the high levels of cyanide. Other toxins that can cause
fatal harm are ammonia and nitrogen oxides which can cause lung
cancer. Who knows what the legal distribution of Marijuana will do to the
already gigantic illegal drug industry. Some people may go crazy over the
distribution of wealth due to this proposed change.
Socially this may be a good thing but it can also be a bad thing. Smokers
may become lazy, broke, and overweight. Some may decide to drive. That’
s never good. Marijuana does have the tendency to get you to relax and
sometimes if addicted it may get you to relax too much. We’re human. We
need to be happy and complacent with what life brings us. But that also
brings back the concept of Marijuana having the power to do that all by
itself. This, in the end, concludes to a fight with ourselves over which
path can make our lives easier on us.
