With the legalization of marijuana in many states, we opened Pandora’s box. We are bombarded with cannabis advertising, praising the benefits of this mind-altering drug and letting us believe, the pot is harmless. Let’s enjoy it!

A multi-billion dollar market opened up, and like with all advertising, it’s celebrated as the greatest, fashionable new discovery of the hip generation.

Just to separate facts from fiction, there are some legitimate medical uses for marijuana for people who suffer under chronic pain and can’t be helped otherwise. Nobody is denying that, but what is “medical use” anyway? There is no clear distinction between a medical need and recreational desire. Pot sellers admit it freely, you just have to “claim” a medical need, and that’s it!

Marijuana is the most common psychotropic drug on the market, especially among young people. According to the National Institute of Health, almost twelve million young adults used pot in 2018. Through the politically motivated legalization of pot, drugged people are easier to manipulate,  these number exploded further. People don’t just smoke marijuana, they also use edibles such as brownies, cookies, candy, brew, or tea. Many children have access to such edible pot, too. 

As determined by the National Institute of Health, marijuana has a number of effects changing your reception of the world around you.
