Marijuana’s legalization: an endless fight



For several years, it has existed a constantly struggle about cannabis’s legalization. Nowadays, there isn’t any country where pot is 100% legal although some states allow people to consume and to cultivate marijuana for personal consumption. Despite the moral consequences that the completely legalization of this drug could bring to any existing society, the medical benefits and the cultural power that marijuana has is even stronger.
The main reason that cannabis users give in order to legalize marijuana, it is because the existence of numerous studies where have proven medical benefits in THC, the main component of this drug. It is also very important to think about the culture behind marijuana. Being a very harmless substance, much less than tobacco and alcohol, marijuana has a peace message. As the leading effect is to slow down almost every muscle of your body, the main consumers of this drug are commonly very peaceful.
It was very strange that looking for reasons against legalizing marijuana, I could only find moral motivations for not allowing the free consume of this drug. There are not scientific facts to assert that marijuana is a bad drug and a harmful one. I believe for that reason it has been so controversial and difficult to reach an agreement about if we have to legalize it or not. And what do you think about this?
