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.

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.

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;
