Marijuana Is A Drug Like Any Other

There are many people all over this world that smoke marijuana, and many of them feel like this is not a drug at all. Despite the fact that it alters the mood and many people have side-effects when they are not smoking for long periods, people think this is just another source of entertainment.

When I meet new people, they seem very surprised that I don't smoke. It is scary that marijuana is such a string part of society that it is shocking when someone decides that they actually want to avoid indulging in drugs. That is a very sad state of affairs, yet society acts like this is the norm.

Now that many states are talking about legalizing marijuana, this will probably pave the way for more people to become addicted. I believe this because many people I know stayed away from it because they were concerned about breaking laws. Now that it will be accessible to all, there is nothing that will stop them from smoking.

People say that it is not so bad because you don't see people addicted to it and all that, but this is not the case at all. In fact, there are plenty of people who show signs of addiction when marijuana is not in their reach. For example, my ex-boyfriend used to walk around testy and temperamental whenever he did not have any in his system. This means that I had to walk on eggshells until he got the money to buy his next fix.

While you don't see signs everywhere telling people how terrible marijuana is, that does not mean that it is perfectly safe. Just like cigarettes, it is a natural plant that has many additives unknown to the smokers. The best thing you could ever do for yourself would be to stay far away from it.
