Marihuana

     In the presentation, Marijuana is better than cigarette at all aspects. Presenters said Marijuana doesn’t damage people’s health and doesn’t lead people to death. However, in many countries, Marijuana is classified as a drug and I think there must be reasons for it. So, I searched internet myself and found some problems of Marijuana easily.

     As far as I learned from the internet, Marihuana should be banned for several reasons. One criterion for classifying whether something is drug or not, is that it is a habit-forming or anaclitic. A habit-forming is psychiatric problem and anaclitic is about our withdrawal symptoms. Cigarette is a habit-forming, so it is not a drug. One of typical drug is delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol(THC), and Marijuana contains it. Although a person takes a really small amount of it, it causes hallucination. Presenters said Marihuana has no hallucination, I think it’s wrong information. It causes serious effects on brain. And there are so many kinds of Marihuana so that it’s hard for me to tell one by one and get right information.

     Marihuana causes memory loss, hallucination, depression, and committing suicide. In addition, I think people who take Marihuana once will want to take a harder one as time goes by. Marihuana definitely has harmful effects on our body. And if it is legal, it will cause many serious social problems. For example, smoking isn’t allowed for teenagers under 19, but so many young students smoke. If Marihuana becomes legal, young students want to try it. So, I think Marihuana should be banned in Korea.

  3. I agree with your opinion. Marijuana is classified as drugs but cigarette isn't classified as drugs in many counties. It has a reason. Marijuana has many fatal harmful substances. So, We need to prevent smoking marijuana. Also, As Park JongHyuck mentioned, We must protect children. Children follow adult's behavior. Children can follow smoking marijuana easily. So, I think we should maintain prohibition of smoking marihuana.
