I think that marijuana should stay illegal in Honduras because it can affect the economy of Honduras, its hallucinogens properties can produce many accidents and because it can open the way for many other drugs to be legalized. Also if they legalize marijuana people will start using other drugs because they would get bored of using marijuana later on.
Some information that is important to know about marijuana: “Cannabis, also known as marijuana (sometimes spelled "marihuana" among many other names, refers to any number of preparations of the Cannabis plant intended for use as a psychoactive drug or for medicinal purposes. The word marijuana comes from the Mexican Spanish word, marihuana. According to the United Nations, cannabis "is the most widely used illicit substance in the world." The overuse of marijuana as clearly said in the passage is amazing in the World and the problem that is brings is that it is highly addictive.
The tremendous addiction these addicts have toward cannabis can lead to many problems especially within their family and toward economical stability of the family and the country. The economical responsibility leads to the betterment of a country. If a drug like marijuana is legalized many people will start abusing and will therefore affect the whole country.
Some side effects of cannabis:
“Marijuana side effects also wreak havoc on the brain when the drug is used habitually. The natural chemical balance of the brain is disrupted affecting the pleasure centers and regulatory systems. The ability to learn, remember and adapt quickly to changes is impaired by marijuana use. Depression often occurs with marijuana usage, which feeds into the cycle of more drug use to treat the pain created by drug use. This cycle of addiction is very powerful and users soon find that they cannot stop using the drug even if they want to.”
All these side effects can prove that marijuana should be illegal.
