Marijuana is an addictive drug that can be grown at home. A pound of marijuana today is worth almost as much as a pound of gold. Marijuana is outlawed though there are groups trying to make this drug legal in certain states. Marijuana can be smoked, sprinkled, or cooked into food. It is grown the most in the states of Hawaii and California, where it is shipped and sold.
Some marijuana is used for medical conditions such as glaucoma.
The penalty for possession of marijuana in Indiana is a fine and up to 6 months in jail. Penalties are bigger and more harsh if one is caught with this drug during a transaction or within apartment complexes, public areas, or schools. It is different in every state. Marijuana is a gate-way drug. This means that it leads to the use of even more harmful drugs such as heroin and crack.
