Recently the governor of Illinois Bruce Rauner passed a law pertaining to reductions in the criminal penalties for minor marijuana offenses. Before, those who were convicted of cannabis possession went up against potential jail time; now, just a civil warning along with a fine. As documented by the New England Journal of Medicine, there is an inverse correlation between the perceived dangers of marijuana and the incidence of those who chose to use it. Plainly put, the people who capitalize on minor risk view cannabis, the more likely they are to use – and abuse – it.
For example, sales taxes generated from legal marijuana sales in states like Colorado and Washington. Since those states have legalized recreational marijuana use, the view on its risk have become more laxed, and the amount of its use has increased substantially. Too, have car related accidents due to marijuana use. In reference to investigative studies conducted by AAA, marijuana-related traffic deaths in Washington state have gone up since pot was legalized there. To start, marijuana cultivators have continually grown marijuana to increase its strength with a higher THC count.
Currently, the amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)., which is the psychoactive component that gives you the feeling of being under the influence has increased by 22 times compared with cannabis strains that were available back in the 1960s. However often referred to as being benign, the New England Journal of Medicine has documented potential negative impacts of marijuana use on brain functioning. It should come as no shocker that cannabis use is tough to be in correlation to not performing well at both school and work.
Marijuana users experience higher dropout rates though these are not proven facts and lower academic achievement still more opinions formed by observation. Marijuana advocates often argue that it is not addictive because it’s not. As reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, about 9 percent of people who experiment with marijuana will become addicted to it…still not facts just opinion formed from observation In our American culture, we laugh when Hollywood lampoons potheads in movies such as “Pineapple Express” and “Dude, Where’s My Car?” But, at TheAbbey Addiction Treatment Center in Bettendorf, we see the faces of marijuana addicts first hand. Put another way, just because you can use pot medically or recreationally, it doesn’t mean you always should….said pot advocate ever!
