Ok well I was going to write about one subject but i've changed my mind, I've decided to dedicate this blog to a topic that has been buzzing around not only my school but also around the news lately. Yes people I am talking about it, its called Marijuana. Ok now before you freak out and start ranting about how its evil or stick it to the man man hear me out, ok so i've been reading online about some facts because I would like to be more informed as a teenager facing not peer pressure exactly but i've been hearing more and more about it some defending it some condemning it and I would like to give my thoughts on it. Ok so here it is, I don't think marijuana is all that bad, I admit I don't do it and I never will however I do believe it isn't as harmful as all the other drugs that are floating around out there. I know that there are some "effects" to smoking marijuana but there are effects in every "drug" as well; in marijuana you cant really operate a vehicle properly so you shouldn't drive or operate other machinery, I also wouldn't recommend mixing drugs together because the effects could be really dangerous. However alone marijuana doesn't have a huge efftect on people's minds. Sure maybe a little memory loss but its short anyway and hey somethings should be forgotten and its better than losing your memory to drinking which is majorally dangerous don't drink, and if you absolutely have to do it with friends and someone who is sober and stay home and don't go anywhere. Anyways back to marijuana, now i'm not pushing marijuana at all and please don't think I am, I don't encourage teens or anyone under the age of like 30 or so. Adults are the only ones who should because although marijuana doesn't have long lasting effects teens brains are still developing and the THC probably isn't the best to add to young brains. But I'm sick of being lied to like that marijuana has more nicotine than cigarettes because we all know deep down that thats not true. If it was marijuana would be addictive but it isn't not at all, and when you think of it more people are getting addicted to cough syrup that marijuana. Also there has never been a death related to marijuana alone. There just hasn't. I don't know who is going to read this blog but if you're a parent please and i cannot stress this enough don't think I'm a crazy teen who is pushing drugs to your kids cuz i'm not I just think teens should be educated with truths and make decisions based on what they know not on lies. And teens I Am Not Pushing Drugs! But the more you know the better you are prepared for life, I do encourage you to learn more about all drugs to get more educated and know whats safe and whats dangerous. Besides marijuana is also used not just to mellow out but to ease pain doctors prescribe it all the time to patients. If it was really bad (and yes I know it isn't a huge strong point because of all of the medical mix ups and doctors don't care they'll give you anything but still) they really wouldn't push it down peoples throats, since its not even that bad for you, because not all doctors are hacks some actually know what they're talking about. Finally i want to sum up that the only reason marijuana is illegal is because the government was "scared" it would turn into a huge scandal which it didn't, I believe Nixon was president when the whole drug thing in the 70's and he reacted badly, just think about it and say it out loud a few times plants are illegal, plants! Really that is all it is Plants, and lighting them on fire. Yet alcohol isn't banned or cigarettes really yet those two elements are HUGE!!! Reasons people die each year. All i'm saying is think about all things that you've heard or read or even told people, and really just find out for yourself about marijuana. And please for the sake of arguments stop telling people it causes lung cancer cuz it doesn't, and everyone needs to chill out and stop stressing about one person let them be there not hurting anyone.
