This, my friends, is a very controversial topic. Some strongly believe that it should be legalized, and some disagree… I have some bad news for you non-believers. Marijuana is on its way to being legalized in Canada.
The regulations for Marijuana are currently a maximum fine of $1,000 or 6 months in jail for Ihaving up to 30 grams of the substance. A little bizarre for having possession of such a small amount, isn’t it? With the new law being passed, Marijuana will still have its regulations, don’t worry. The new laws state that if you get caught either providing to minors, or driving under the influence, you will be criminally charged and the consequences will be twice as serious as they were before. Sounds to me like Marijuana has very similar restrictions to alcohol, ya? So why wasn’t it legalized years ago?
It’s a good thing Marijuana is being legalized because it is used for a lot of things other than recreational use. Right now, the only way you can legally possess Marijuana is if it is for medical purposes, and of course you need a license for that. Studies show that Marijuana can help HIV positive patients, depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses. I feel like Marijuana should be accessible to those who don’t have a license, but do have a mental illness, because you never know, it might actually help someone more than you think.
I feel like Marijuana isn’t nearly as dangerous as alcohol. Alcohol has a ton of negative affects on your body. Alcohol is a killer to your liver. Liver damage such as; Fibrosis or Cirrhosis are a possible result of drinking too much. It can also cause tons of damage to your heart as well, possible strokes and high blood pressure all the time. You hear about a lot of people who get into car accidents while being under the influence or just doing stupid things, and they end up dead. I have yet to hear about somebody dying from Marijuana.
Personally, I think legalizing Marijuana is a great idea, and I’m all for it.
