Legalization Of Marijuana, A Topic To Reflect

Legalization of marijuana, a topic to reflect

In ancient times, marijuana was used for medicinal, spiritual, cultural, therapeutic and recreational purposes;Today the cannabis plant is one of the toxic and illegal substances, but above all the most consumed in various parts of the world. Therefore, there is a great controversy regarding its legalization, since it can be favorable in some aspects, being the case of the cure of many diseases, and on the other hand, there would be the increase in crime under the effects of drugs.

Given the variety of points of view, consulting true sources, it is the best option, since most of the population is carried away from what other people say, that is why this essay will help them solve their doubts and to theThe same time motivating them to think that the legalization of marijuana is one of the best things that could be given, for the improvement of the country.

Most people see in a negative way the use of marijuana, because many cases of addiction and dependence are known due to excessive consumption of this, in addition to other more complex problems such as risks in the mind and body. But, they put aside the recognition of their advantages.

However, other countries saw this issue from another perspective, such as the case of Uruguay, which was the first country in South America, which legalized the cultivation and consumption of the cannabis plant, not only for healing or medicinal purposes but also butAlso, for recreational and industrial use, at the same time that drug trafficking is reduced.

Currently, in Peru there is still a debate about the use of cannabis for medicinal purposes, which is between who is against the ends, and on the other hand, those who express their positions in favor, with arguments of convenience for thePopulation health and finally, those who manifest against arguments that a legalization can be given only for their recreation. This issue is of the utmost importance because, not only will it help us recognize the advantages and disadvantages, under true and formal support, but also, we will know if the legalization of marijuana is beneficial for the country, in economic, political, political aspects,cultural, and mainly for the people who will consume it.

The drug, whose scientific name is cannabis sativa, is recognized as a substance that causes damage to the mental and physical health of the people who consume it continuously, since everything is excessively harmful;On the other hand, you can solve and give a better quality of life to people. Due to the varied effects that it produces, in the different areas of society, the issue of legalization must be taken with seriousness and responsibility. To do this, the first thing to know is that at the time of legalizing this drug, many things will change in Peruvian legislation and therefore, the population will be affected, either in the cultural, economic aspect, thisYou give more by merchants and producers of said drug;Legal, so this issue will be reflected in the Constitution, likewise, in the educational, since in schools students will have to teach true use and precautions that must be taken regarding marijuana.

But it should be taken into account that at present, in the Criminal Code, there is already article 299, which expresses that, it is no reason to sanction the possession of up to 8 grams of marijuana, as long as it is for immediate purposes andnon -commercial;Which makes us think that everything is in favor of us, so you have to act with responsibility for this type of substance, since if we try it in small proportions, it will be a benefit and health help, since we curesome evils or simply helps us treatment of this. It is evident that the legalization of the cannabis plant brings with it various points of view, so it is not known for what purposes most people consume them, since they can use it, because the doctor prescribed them, or onlyfor fun what would cause in a long term, addiction problems.

Also, there is a great influence on the market, by the sale of this drug, where the most vulnerable to consume it are minors, since, many do it out of curiosity or lack of knowledge or in most casesBecause they suffer problems in their family, as demonstrated, Yanac, F. (2017), in their research work, which through a survey, it was shown that 100% of the respondents who consumed drugs were primary children;Which means that, many times the lack of communication from parents to children can bring a wide variety of consequences;In addition, it is expressed that there is a lot of influence regarding the consumption of marijuana, which is why most children leave the studies at an early age, which is a disadvantage for the country.

Many of the country’s individuals are in favor of legalization, because people will stop dying due to overdose, so marijuana approving, it will only be used for medicinal purposes, that is, under the control of a person specializing in thesecases, which will give the corresponding measures of use, as Calderón, G manifest, G. et al (2017) “The intention of politics is to separate marijuana consumers from those who use another type of psychoactive substances in order to reduce the damage."

Regarding the planting of the cannabis plant, cultivation and manufacturing areas will be defined, the same that will be under supervision, so that there is no confusion, in the form of its use, as long as they are duly authorized, bywhat must meet certain requirements, in terms of their geographical space and the type of land in which it will be sown. But this will always be given and how much marijuana is used or consumed for therapeutic, medicinal or scientific purposes. Such is so, that according to Devida (2017), to the cultivation areas define them as;"… extensive areas of land that have favorable natural and geographical conditions for their production (warm, humid and propitious land)" "

As for the field of health, it is known that one of the many cannabis components is cannabidiol, so expresses, Navarro, J. (2017) "Cannabidiol, is a component that highlights the medicinal benefits of marijuana", is one that benefits the health of many individuals, this element contributes to the management of sleep disorders. But the most impressive thing is that it also helps cancer patients, because they help them during and after the chemotherapy process, in addition to people suffering from a terrible disease, such as AIDS, they help them increase their appetite and theirmuscle mass;It may not help him heal this definitely, but it is very important because at this stage it is where many lose their appetite and do not have enough defenses, so they are vulnerable to other types of diseases.

In addition, there is a big difference between the recreational and medicinal use of the cannabis plant, and what seeks to promote legalization, is that it is consumed only for medicinal purposes, since this will be given, using only the essence or extract ofThe plant, called marijuana oil. On the other hand, recreational use is not recommended because, only the pleasure of smoking is sought and they do not realize the damage that can be caused in health, since strains from other plants with low CBD level are used here. As highlighted, Zavaleta, to. (2017) “Medicinal use seeks to reduce the symptom of disease using active ingredients extracted from the leaf and purified: CBD, THC or both."

The administration of medicines in the United States – FDA (for its acronym in English) or Digemid – Minsa in Peru, already approved and confirmed by medical evidence, some of the medicinal uses of the cannabis plant, such as;It relieves chronic and neuropathic pain, helps in multiple sclerosis and avoids nausea and vomiting that produce chemotherapies.

Other of the latest evidence, about the benefits offered by marijuana, and that for which it should be legalized is, that according to studies cannabis and cannabinoids fights anxiety, stress, increased appetite and reduction in weight lossof people associated with sleep and HIV. But the most impressive and incredible is that they are also effective for the treatment of epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, minor seizures, among other things that are advantageous, for people who day by day suffer with these terrible diseases. As reflected, Garcia, M. (2017) “… There is evidence of treatment in children and adults with resistant epilepsy, but can be considered as an adjuvant alternative in the treatment of patients."

conclusion

It can be said that while it is true, the issue of the components of marijuana has not been thoroughchemotherapies or some other health problem. And this is because the cannabis plant is rich in Cannnabidiol, which has no harmful effect on health, which means that it will not cause dependence or addiction for it.

That is why, substances that are rich in CBD must be consumed, they do not have the presence of THC, because the latter makes you fly, and you can perform acts that you should not;While the CBD, at first glance, no effect is caused, but in reality it helps that better in the health of the person who consumes it in prolonged and correctly periods.

To do this, it is advisableThey will not be cured in its entirety, as is the case of AIDS, but if you can extend your treatment and therefore the years of life, carrying in the best way this time of people.

The legalization of marijuana, is an issue that leaves us much to reflect, since it is not only about thinking about oneself, but also in other people, being empathic, and recognizing the different needs we have but above allRealities that each one lives, not all have the same conditions, whether economic or social that is why, if this case is reached in Peruvian legislation, it would be the great opportunity of many of the inhabitants of this country.
