Should marijuana be legalized will attract more people to smoke it resulting in negative effects on health and families just a couple to mention.
A lot more people will believe that marijuana is something they can do every day or at any time if marijuana is legalized, which results in an increase in drug abuse. Marijuana will be smoked and abuse under no circumstances. The access to this harmful drug will be much easier that the cost sadly affordable now to a larger scale.
Negative health effects will be caused be by an increase of the use drugs. For example, depressed people use marijuana believing it will calm them down or make them feel better. These are all lies because marijuana worsens depression. Other negative health effects relating to drug abuse are respiratory illness, lung infection, and cancer of the lungs, mouth and throat
