Marijuana should not be Legal

Problem

The problem under discussion is the legalization of marijuana that is one of the most widely misused drugs. The problem of the usage of marijuana, more so, the illegal use of marijuana is one of the biggest problems that the people of the country are facing these days. The number of users of marijuana are increasing with each passing day. The issue that this policy brief will be discussing is the issue of legalization of marijuana and whether or not this should be legalized. The stand taken here is that it is not right to legalize marijuana because of the ill consequences it has on the user. This is one of the biggest problems in the areas of narcotics that the people of the country, especially the youth of the country is facing. It is important that this issue is resolved and a decision is taken on it. The stakeholders in this decision include the government and the criminal justice system. Most of the people taking marijuana are abusing it and this makes this a dangerous drug for all the users of the marijuana.

Introduction

Marijuana is a commonly used drug. The main psychoactive constituent present in these plants is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), among the 483 known compounds, including at least 84 other cannabinoids such as cannabidiol (CBD), the cannabinol (CBN) and tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV). The use of marijuana as a recreational substance has gradually developed a number of recipes, preparation and consumption patterns. Research on the dangers of marijuana for people, although still controversial in the twenty first century, led to its registration as a drug in the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961 (www.oas.samhsa.gov). Thus, the possession, trade, promotion and consumption of marijuana were banned during the twentieth century in most countries of the world. Marijuana remains nevertheless widely consumed as psychotropic, in a number of places including the United States and Europe.
