Is Marijuana Good or Bad?

Marijuana is generally recognized as a strictly prohibited substance. Many countries criminalize it because marijuana contains addictive substances and excessive use can cause mental disorders and even death. However, some parts of the country consider marijuana to be an excellent drug for the medical world. Some countries that have legalized marijuana include: Canada, Argentina, Italy, Australia, Mexico, Uruguay, South Africa, the Netherlands, and Germany.

Marijuana is considered medicinal in some countries because it contains the active compound cannabidiol, also known as CBD. This compound is very useful for people with epilepsy or convulsions because the CBD compound can subside or return to normal if used according to the dose recommended by the doctor. Not only epilepsy, such as multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease, can be treated with marijuana.

However, not everyone agrees with the opinion that marijuana is a drug. Many people worry that its use will be addictive and not dependent on recovery. Because marijuana also contains not only CBD, but also other compounds, such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which can cause negative effects and the emergence of laziness in movement.

The THC in marijuana quickly affects brain activity when smoke from burning marijuana is inhaled. Cigarette smoke that is inhaled into the lungs can enter the bloodstream. Blood containing THC is transported to the brain and other organs of the body. The effects can be felt both in the short and long term. You will feel short-term effects after 30 minutes to 1 hour after use.

There are many pros and cons of marijuana in society. Although there are countries that legalize the use of marijuana. It is used through the implementation of very strict regulations and is carried out in certain places and under very strict supervision. This is done so that users do not abuse marijuana.

In Indonesia itself, marijuana is not legalized because marijuana is considered contrary to legal aspects and aspects of security and order in society. Marijuana is a very taboo subject in Indonesia because it is seen as a very high case of marijuana use and circulation.
