INTRODUCTION

 WHAT IS MARIJUANA?

ANSWER:
According to national institute on drug abuse Marijuana refers to the
dried leaves, flowers, stems, and seeds from the Cannabis sativa or
Cannabis indica plant (www.drugabuse.gov, 2018)
 Since the anciet time people has been using marijuana as
a part of their daily life
 In the present the use of marijuana is illegal
INDONESIA STRICTLY PROHIBITTED
MARIJAUANA

 MY OPINION : marijuana should not be banned

 WHY ?
 THEIR USE AS MEDICAL ALTERNATIVES
THEY ARE ALREADY USED IT AS A MEDICINE IN
THE PAST
Ex :
1. People in china used marijuana as a herbal
medicine as long as 2700 B.C in the record of
shen nung
2. In india they used marijuana as a special drinkc
called bhang, its said it can cure many disease
MARIJUANA AS A MEDICAL ALTERNATIVES

In present day marijuana can be used as:

1. Pain control
2. Drugs to lessen the tremor from parkinsons
dissease to treat patients
3. A medicine to wasting syndrome
WHY ?

 THEUSED OF MARIJUANA IN OTHER

INDUSTRIES
 WHY ?

 The comparison to tobacco

Comparison to tobaco

 that marijuana is the least deadly compared to

heroin, cocaine, tobacco, ecstasy,
methamphetamines
Comparison to tobaco
SMOKING :
According to the data it can
cause fatal diseases such as
pneumonia, emphysema and MARIJUANA
lung cancer. In fact, cigarette can affect the
caused 84% deaths by lung development of brains
cancer and 83% death by of teens but when
chronic obstructive pulmonary compared it to the
disease (COPD). adults, the adults did
smoking its increasing our not show any
chance to get a stroke at least
50%
significance of it
causes more than 480.000 declines
deaths each year in the united
states
IN INDONESIA

 The most ironic thing is that cigarette dominates the

economy in Indonesia. Cigarette company donated 147
billion rupiah to national income it is 8,87% from it. Not
only that according to the data by BPS in 2018, cigarette
is the second biggest commodity contributed to poverty.
Cigarette substances that not only more dangerous than
marijuana but also the biggest economic power in
Indonesia, meanwhile marijuana is still banned in
Indonesia
CONCLUSION

 From all of the above I think we should legalize marijuana or at least

not ban it completely. Marijuana had a lot of use especially as a
medical alternative, we as humans have been using it since the 2700
B.C. and continue to find another application of marijuana as a drugs.
Marijuana also has a lot of potentials in other industries such as
construction, textile, even alternative energy. Lastly, I think it is quite
hypocritical to ban marijuana and not cigarette not only because it is
more dangerous but also it is the second biggest contributor to
poverty.
I think Indonesian people must not see marijuana in only one light,
because there are a lot of potentials that are completely wasted but still
legalize one of the most deadly item.
