Marijuana

Marijuana should not be legalized in California. Marijuana is terrible for your mental and physical health. Marijuana can be a dangerous choice but it also can damage our bodies. When a person gets high, his/her performance can lead to lowered self-esteem which can lead to anxiety and depression. Marijuana users have abnormal brain structure and poor memory and that chronic marijuana abuse may lead to brain changes. The younger the person starts using marijuana, the worse the effects become. When Marijuana becomes more accessible to teenagers, it will cause most of them not to discontinue with their education. Teenagers who use marijuana have lower grades and are less likely to get into college than nonsmokers. They simply do not have the same abilities to remember and organize information compared to those who do not use these substances. This along with the other information on how marijuana is harmful gives us another reason for not legalizing it. Marijuana should not be legalized for the safety of most people and their health. Marijuana destroys the minds of many users. All parts of the body especially the immune system are damaged from marijuana. Marijuana can cause many of the same illnesses cigarettes cause. So in conclusion I believe that marijuana should stay illegal to ensure the safety of our future.
