Could
marijuana legalization affect the human health? The cannabis or what is
known as marijuana legalization fight in Texas is still on. The good thing is
Texas is still forbidden marijuana even possession of less than two ounces of
it could lead the people six months in jail and paying a fine up to $2000. I
would agree with Texas law for making marijuana illegal in the state for many
reasons.
First
of all, we have many drugs that are enough for the people to “get out of the
reality” such as smoking cigars and drinking alcohol. Many accidents happen
under the influence of alcohol. Moreover, imagine if someone is under the
influence of marijuana like smoking marijuana making people violent as it
happen a long time ago “in the new year of 1903 in Mexico when a man spent all
the day smoking marijuana then he ends up stabbing the horses and killed a
policeman” Isaac Campos said. Some people make a pretext as solution for some
medical issues, well there are some medicines prescribed by the doctors for
this type of sickness cases that work better than marijuana effect.
Marijuana also affects the normal daily activity of the body,
the focusing on doing work, and could lead to future diseases. Also Texas is
doing a survey to reform the marijuana law. I would like to say that I hope
many people stands against allowing the marijuana in Texas. The state Senator
John Carona said “As a conservative, as a father of five, grandfather of five,
I think anything that relaxes drug policy in this state is the wrong direction”
also “In fact, I would go further. What we should have done years ago is have a
real war on drugs, to strictly enforce these laws in such a way that people
would respect them.”

After reading this post, it is very surprising to me in how marijuana is still a concern for many people nowadays. I totally agree with the author that the government should make marijuana illegal in Texas. Marijuana is a very dangerous drug and it causes a big effect for whoever using the drug even in a small amount. Not to mention that there are people out there who using drug then start off driving. It is very dangerous to others people. The author here makes a great deal in mention to his audience the case happened in 1903 in Mexico where a man smoke marijuana and ends up killing people. The government should stop the use marijuana or any other drugs a long time ago, not until today that they see the dangerous of it. If the people do not realize the effects of marijuana, the government should take the stand and let them know the bad side of it. Doing so not only prevent all possible consequences, but help contribute to the health living of people.
I don't smoke marijuana at all but to some people it helps them stay at ease and better take on the day. Some might drink a cup of coffee to start of their work or school day and others might just smoke a fat joint. In my opinion, marijuana that could be legalized, controlled and taxed is a great benefit to the state. Although I haven't heard any cases of people overdosing and dying on THC, I have heard this past week that people are overdosing on synthetic weed and harming themselves. Chemist would develop these synthetic chemicals to bypass the laws and regulations, allowing them to legally sale these substances. I saw a documentary on this a while back.
The DEA would target certain smoke shops selling as "herbal incense" but in reality its legal weed. Until caught, the chemist would just switch up the chemicals and resell them using legal ingredients. What I am saying, pot heads would do anything to get a high and would take extreme risk to smoke harmful synthetic marijuana just to bypass the drug screens. By legalizing it in Texas, licensed shops could label the ingredients (weed duh) and concentration amount of THC in each bag. Who knows what kind of crap theses chemists are adding to synthetic drugs. It’s all for profit.
Welcome to 2014! 1903 was more than a hundred years ago! Marihuana has been through a lot of research since then and must benefits and side effects are still pretty much unknown. I have no time to update you from 1903 to 2014, but the most significant recent discoveries are that marihuana reduces epileptic attacks, stress, and pain (Here is a TEDtalk that talks about this, so you know I'm not lying, you should watch it and post your sources too so we can believe that story from 1903 and some facts that you talk about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciQ4ErmhO7g ). It was also discovered, that smoking often will affect a side of your brain that is involved with motivation (http://www.livescience.com/37889-marijuana-users-lack-motivation.html) . I post a positive and a negative discovery cause I'm in a neutral position on cannabis use.
I agree in the fact that Texas should not legalize it, but for other reasons. I come from Mexico and I lived in the insecurity of it thanks to drug cartels. I think legalising marihuana in a border state can make it easier to cartels to cross it through the border. Also, by legalising it, the price lowers. If the price lowers the cartels will lose money and they will find a way to get it somehow, probably through kidnapping or extortion. This would raise the insecurity in Mexico.
