Marijuana. This is a modern medicine that is widely used

and known. Marijuana is the term for cannabis of people
nowadays. Due of the ongoing discussion on whether it should
be legalized or not, it is a very popular topic today. Some people
want it legalized so they won’t have to keep it a secret from law
enforcement or for medical reasons, but I don’t think it should be
because it’s a very dangerous substance. Cannabis poses a
serious threat to society. There are many arguments to support
or oppose the legalization of this potent substance, but only a
few provide more than enough evidence to support my position
that it shouldn’t. One key factor for being against it is that it is
very dangerous for the users. Even though many don 't realize it,
it damages your organs and body and it can kill you. Some
people may say, "but Marijuana is less dangerous than alcohol
and tobacco." Yes, it may seem like it 's less dangerous, but it is
scientifically proven that in the long run, it is as or even more
dangerous than alcohol and tobacco.
On the other hand, marijuana has been proven treatment for
many ailments. However legalizing it would be a big problem
because we cannot deny the fact that people are more abusers
than we could think about. Some may use it too much to the point
that it could no longer be just a treatment for them but to satisfy
their addiction. Let’s say cannabis or marijuana really does help
those people who are suffering with some ailments and can be
benefited through cannabis treatment but only few people
provides facts and opinions with evidences of it that’s what it is
really hard for us to believe and persuaded that marijuana should
be legalized in the Philippines for it acts as an open door for some
teenagers to engage in some addictions due to their curiosity.
 In conclusion, I think that marijuana should not be legalized
because it has a negative impact on a lot of people and is
practically lethal for many people who use it and many others that
smoke it around them. Your body is severely poisoned by it. It is
significantly riskier than a simple cigarette, it harms teens and
young people severely, and it puts many lives at risk since it
impairs judgment. As was previously stated, marijuana poses a
serious threat to society, and I firmly believe that it should not be
legalized.
