This time, a high school is making headlines for cracking down on students smoking marijuana in groups. In order to prevent this from happening, the government will place detection devices in each school, conduct regular inspections, strongly punish students who are caught, and patrol and crack down on traffickers. Parents are concerned about the fact that marijuana has spread to students and are positive about the government’s announcement.
marijuana trafficking organizations
The annual amount of marijuana seizures recently exceeded 100 million units, which means more soldiers and police officers are needed to crack down on illegal possession, but it also means fewer police officers to keep the peace. In addition, illegal marijuana trafficking organizations are growing larger and larger with the money they make, and are increasingly using more complex and sophisticated routes to evade detection. The annual losses to the nation are estimated to be in the hundreds of millions of dollars per year, and the social costs of policing and homelessness are also significant. In order to stop this, it is necessary to cooperate with neighboring countries to stop the illegal importation routes and conduct national prevention campaigns and treatment campaigns for addicts.
The social issue of marijuana was a big one
As the number of addicts who become addicted to marijuana and continue to seek marijuana increases, they become unable to work anymore and become homeless on the streets. The government tries to treat them so that they can work in society again, but the cost of treatment is passed on to the citizens, and the number of addicts is increasing faster than the treatment, so it is not a fundamental solution. If we continue to ignore this, we will not be able to afford the cost of treatment for them and the number of addicts will be unmanageable, so we need to find a solution quickly.
Many people are unaware of the dangers of marijuana
Even in states where it’s illegal, many people think that marijuana is not addictive and that it’s not a big deal. The biggest problem is that many people are exposed to it in this way, so they don’t have a strong stigma against it. There’s a reason why it’s labeled as a narcotic, and while it’s less addictive, it’s not non-addictive, which can lead to more and more first-timers turning to it. There are a lot of families that have been ruined in this way, and it’s a social problem.
Problems with illegal marijuana in illegal states
Marijuana is currently not legal in all states, but it continues to be illegally imported from non-legal states and is often seen in the news. Most of the time, people are importing marijuana from South America, and along with marijuana, they are also importing various other drugs. This problem has been going on for a long time, but the U.S. government has not been able to stop it despite various attempts. The reason why drug-related problems are serious in the United States is because we have not been able to stop these problems, and we should think about how to do it in the future.
The aftermath of marijuana legalization
Those who talk about legalizing marijuana say. They say that marijuana is less addictive than tobacco, it is not as dangerous as other drugs, and it can be used as medicine. However, marijuana should not be legalized because it belongs to the drug class. If marijuana is legalized, it will affect the standards of the drug class and give other drugs an excuse to be legalized. We do not know what kind of social repercussions it will bring, so we should not make a hasty decision.
The effects of medicating marijuana
Using marijuana as a medicine can help people who are mentally distressed or suffering from the after-effects of a serious injury.
Marijuana’s analgesic effects can temporarily free a mentally distressed person from mental anguish and reduce the pain of someone who has suffered a serious injury. Despite these benefits, these patients should only take marijuana under the proper guidance of a doctor, and if taken incorrectly, it can lead to addiction. Also, because marijuana doesn’t have long-lasting effects, it must be taken frequently, making it easy to become addicted. For now, marijuana needs to find ways to eliminate these problems before we can talk about legalizing it.

Andy Zorn’s Story
Andrew Zorn was a young man who experienced a downward progression in his mental health largely due to heavy marijuana use. His mother, Sally Schindel, now runs an organization of women whose children have been negatively affected by marijuana use. Their goal is to “make the public aware of marijuana harms by sharing the stories of how our youth are experiencing devastating mental (and physical) health effects from using marijuana.”
