does US government lie about marijuana

1. Marijuana itself isnt bad. It’s how many people abuse it that is. Marijuana or any drug, as I have mentioned, is never bad in itself. Just like how a gun or a bullet itself isn’t bad but it becomes a pernicious weapon depending on how people use it that can lead to murder. 2. All drugs don’t only affect one person; it can influence others around him or her. This 31 year old guy started using Marijuana and ended up being addicted which influenced his little brother and best friend to do the same. It killed them because they just didnt have the same tolerance level as he did. Not only was his brain damaged, he lost his family and then became homeless too. So no, Marijuana does not always benefit a person. 3. This drug has effects on the brain, like any other drug. You cannot deny the fact that Weed, Hemp, or Hash contains a chemical that reaches our brain. The chemical, known as THC, over activates the part of our brain responsible for memory, hearing, sight, and perception. It can lead to a person becoming ‘smarter’ while the drug is still in effect but when that is over, it causes other dangerous side effects such as trouble understanding or remembering, increased heart rate leading to panic and anxiety, depression, infections such as sinusitis or bronchitis from overuse of the bong. Imagine the drug always having to pass the nose and throat constantly for the chronic users. 4. Marijuana should only be used for medical purposes. Doctors simply can be trusted to use the drug in a good way. 5. Not all forms of media are regulated by the government. The government who has the responsibility of protecting the citizens does not control, but has a right to regulate the media. However, not all forms of media are regulated by the government (such as the internet). The only reason why the radio and television are said to need a license is because 'according to American law, the public owns the airwaves. ' (which the television and radio is contingent on). The media may not always be right but it has to have gotten their facts somewhere it deems true. Process: 1. People use drugs.2. Some people feel the side effects.3. Changes in the daily life of the person.4. Pictures and evidences posted online.5. Media sees it. 6. Media portrays it. For my rebuttals: 1. ‘and there still able to recall what they did and feel good about their choses. ’ This is a blatant fallacy. It does not mean that if people do not regret doing something then that something isn’t bad. For example, I don’t regret killing this person who hurt my friend, but that doesn’t mean the killing I did wasnt wrong. And if all the people felt good about their choices and all choices brought good results, there would be no rehabilitation centers to help people cope with their life without drugs. More people have admitted to feeling better after disassociating themselves with drugs than when they did. 2. ‘legal drugs can kill us easier and make us retarded, and still make feel good. ’ Legal drugs without prescription can kill us because they are still drugs and without permission to use them, it would be Drug Misuse. For example, painkillers and sleeping pills are very well legal. But imagine if a person took one bottle of the pill. That’s a suicide attempt. Legal drugs are no better than illegal drugs depending on the user. 3. ‘Nobody gets addicted to marijuana it has no withdraws. ’ Two very very obvious errors. First, some people get addicted which is why there are chronic Marijuana users. Others might call it dependence. Though again, a same amount can have completely different effects on different people. Second, please do not expect yourself to be well and in good shape after using this drug for years and all of a sudden trying to stop. There are withdraws such as insomnia, anxiety, irritability, and agitation to say the least.
