Why Do So Many People Keep Trying to Push to Make Marijuana Legal?
Question by JMR: Why do so many people keep trying to push to make marijuana legal?
It’s a psychedelic drug that makes people do crazy things when high enough on it, basically. That should be good enough reason for it to be illegal. If everybody smoked it, we’d be one screwed up society. Why do people think employers drug test? Because people on marijuana can do the *exact* same tasks with accuracy as the people who aren’t high? I don’t think so. They do drug testing because people high on marijuana act crazy, sometimes become violent, paranoid, and generally are a big mess to deal with. It screws up their life by giving them a criminal record due to poor actions, getting arrested, commiting crimes, etc. A common misconception is that it’s “natural and comes from the earth, and can’t be bad for you.” I read this cop-out many times a day on Yahoo Answers. It’s a fact that ANY smoke that goes in the lungs is bad for the lungs and can over time cause lung cancer due to prolonged exposure. Cancer kills. Why is that so hard for people to understand?
