Since marijuana was legalized in many states in America last year, not only does its nationwide approval went high, but its sales are also expected to go even higher this 2017. On that note, the U.S. government thinks that there might be a negative outcome from this.
According to Fool.com, America's Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) said that since weed is now legal in many states, there is a huge chance that people will abuse its use. Another concern is that the medical industry has not submitted any black and white document stating the plant's medical use.
in using it even with the supervision of a medical professional is am added reason why the DEA find marijuana still a dangerous drug for public consumption. Survey says that marijuana's approval rate with the public has reached 60% at a national level. This statistic is a part, as to why the Republican party and the DEA refuse to full on support the legalization of marijuana.
Meanwhile, president-elect Donald Trump is totally in favor of its legalization for medical purposes even when he was still running for office. Now that he has won, he said that the federal government should remain "hands-off" when it comes to the regulation of the said drug.
Aside from all of these facts and data with statistics, people are still wondering if marijuana has indeed a negative effect in the body. Based on the government site, Drug Abuse, this plant has the ability to alter the mind due to a chemical called THC and other compounds that can be found in it.
If a person is not healthy in the mind, there is a huge chance that he could get out of touch with reality as an effect of this drug. That usually happens if taken a lot.
