The structure of this article refers to the legalization of marijuana. You may think smoking or using marijuana is OK because it comes from nature. You may defend it because you "think" it makes you feel good. This is really quite deceiving. Part of the deception is that it has taken over some of the strongest of human minds and some very successful people. In fact, what smoking marijuana is really doing is lowering your self-esteem; which makes you more susceptible to insecurity with less motivation to fulfill your dreams. Insecurity derived by the perception of one self after the high wears off. As you slowly become addicted, those who love you take a back seat to your number one choice. Marijuana controls you, as it becomes a way of life. God gave us minds to use for great achievements so rather then abuse it, keep in mind when reading this article, as it is written for the intent to lead one to greater self-love and with you in mind.

To have the marijuana legalized would be a disaster for our country! Never mind the fact that our society could not manage it nor accept responsibility. People who smoke marijuana- No insult intended to those who choose to smoke it. However, marijuana plants itself into the mind each time it is used and it becomes so much a part of a person thus becomes addiction. Furthermore, to suggest that a person who abuses it, is willing or ready to take on the responsibility required, while it slowly takes over their minds and life.

With all this to consider, this drug is the most harmful drug in the face of the earth. However, people maintain their opinion of course and can list reason and rationality why they choose to smoke or use it. It has been stated that statistics on the subject or the mounds of research data, which suggests that smoking marijuana, is not harmful to a human being; when witnesses who do not use the drug has professed the many lives that they have seen who in fact truly suffered substantial losses due to their drug addition. Those who smoke it cannot stop no matter how hard they try, and virtually every individual who has ever been known to smoke or use marijuana have all have claimed they do not smoke it or smoke that much. Why might that be?


One writer stated research data proved, no cases of fatalities related to marijuana, but does spending eternal life in hell for turning away from God mean anything. Do not misunderstand as the intent here is not about making this debate into one of a Godly spiritual nature;
