In California, the news of legalizing the marijuana is enlivening the media. The penalty of selling and buying and growing the marijuana will be abolished if people are over twenty-one years old. By conducting it, the revenue of California will increase about ten billion dollars. The marijuana for medical treatment has already been admitted in some states.
According to the survey, 40% of people agree with it and 46% of people disagree. I was surprised and I couldn't understand why 40% of people agree with it. As a matter of fact, it's more than 40% of people have experience of smoking the marijuana. Even former president Clinton and current president Obama had the experience.
The people who agree with the marijuana said that the marijuana has less damage for body than smoking and drinking. Also, if the marijuana is sled in public, the black market will be reduced. On the other hand, the people who disagree with the marijuana said that it could be "gateway drag".
It means if people starts smoking the marijuana, it could lead to stronger drag such as a cocaine and heroin.
Some people fake illness to get the marijuana for medical use. They try to get the permission for the marijuana use and they get the prescription so easily.
According to the internet information, the marijuana vending machines for medical use had already debuted.
In my opinion, it's out of reasonable thing that lifting the rule due to the budget problem even it was banned before because of bad health. If the same thing happened in Japan, it must be a serious affair and it never will be accepted.
However, sad to say, the marijuana is getting popular among young people in Japan recently. Japanese government might say the same idea in the future.
