Is Marijuana good or bad?

Marijuana, also known as Cannabis, has the power to heal complicated diseases and
disorders. Some countries use Marijuana to treat severe illnesses. Some countries include
Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Germany, Greece, Israel, etc. Marijuana is very
powerful that it even cures some of the most complex diseases and disorders. These diseases and
disorders include Alzheimer’s disease, appetite loss, cancer, Crohn’s disease, HIV, Anorexia,
Epilepsy and Glaucoma just to name a few. Knowing that Marijuana treats these kinds of
conditions. It’s safe to say that Marijuana is really a very helpful substance in the medical world.
But just like Uncle Ben said in the Spiderman movie, “With great power, comes great
responsibility”. Marijuana is very powerful in curing diseases and disorders but when in take
without any condition this might have bad effects like being a stoner. Marijuana can be very
good if used well but it doesn’t mean that I am siding with “Marijuana is good”. It is a natural
fact that we humans tend to be abusive. Just like anything, some people can’t prevent to abuse or
uses a large dose of Marijuana. Combining that fact with the bad effect of Marijuana when
misused then it will be life-wrecking. When Marijuana is misused and abused, it may lead to
problems with oneself, family, friends and even to the community. Problems with oneself when
using Marijuana includes difficulties is thinking and problem solving, distorted perception,
increased heart rate, loss of body coordination, problems with memory and learning, delusions,
disorientations, hallucination and many more. In misusing Marijuana, the health of a person
using it is heavily affected. Some students also use Marijuana. Making them poor in performing
at school. Students under the influenced of Marijuana may experience those kinds of disorders.
Those type of disorders also affects the way the person, under the influence Marijuana, in his/her
family and piers. In the family, a parent addicted to marijuana may be prone on violence and
harmful doings to his/family. Those disorders also may affect in the community in a way of
disturbance. Unappropriated and violent actions may cause to injuries on the people inside the
community. So overall, Marijuana is bad especially in this world where abusive and violent
people live.
