Look at our nation today, more than three quarters of the population in the United States have tried marijuana and some of them are even our leaders and prominent figures in the US. One can not deny that marijuana is not as bad as some of the other drugs and even alcohol. Marijuana does not have any long-term effects but all short term effects. It is true that marijuana has only gotten so much stronger in the THC content. The media portrays this as a bad thing but it could be regarded as a good thing. The reason that people will go from marijuana use to harder drugs is simply because the "high" in marijuana is not as great as it used to be. However, when the THC is 10 percent to even 30 percent, it just shows that most people want to use marijuana and not other drugsThe media simply hypes this drug use up. Where are the statistics of cocaine and crack use? The statistics are probably lower for drug abuse in harder drugs because most people are only doing marijuana. I am not a pro-drug person. I think that drugs should be illegal and that all drugs only lead to worse ways. I do not agree with the punishment of some drug charges but it's something I could live with. However, I do not regard marijuana use as a drug; as first hand experience I could simply say that marijuana is something to experience for everyone and the people that are strong in themselves will not experience this as a gateway drug.
