In Korea it is common conception that marijuana is really bad, so it should be kept in illegal. However, I cast a doubt to the idea. I think marijuana should be legalized for these two reasons. Marijuana is not that harmful, and government can make money.
First of all, marijuana is less harmful than we think. Since Korea government categorized marijuana as a drug, the one of misconception in Korea is that marijuana is as harmful as heroin or cocaine. However, it is not true. According to study conducted by UK, marijuana is actually less harmful than cigarette and alcohol to our bodies. Now in Korea, alcohol and cigarette are legal even though they are more dangerous. It the reason why we legalized those of substance, alcohol and cigarette is to reduce people’s stress, marijuana would be better for that. Think about other those two substances. Cigarette is defiantly dangerous and addictive. My father smokes cigarette, and he knows smoking cigarette is not good. He tried to quit smoking but always failed. And, alcohol makes people being crazy. If we go out weekend in downtown, we can see many drunken crazy people. I pretty much sure they would commit crimes 100times more than people who smokes just marijuana.
Also, government can make money from marijuana. This is because they can charge a lot of tax to marijuana like as they do to alcohol or cigarette. Also, Korea has nice soil and weather to plant marijuana. Other than just regulate marijuana, Korean government can use it or make it business since marijuana can be used as medicine, fabric, and even paper. For example, in order to buy marijuana under the table in Korea, people have to pay a lot of money because it is illegal. So, even though Korean government charges a lot of tax, they would buy. Also, if it becomes legal, it is easier to control abusing from teenager or overusing.
To sum up, keeping marijuana illegal does not make sense to me. I guess it is because of pressure of cigarette and alcohol companies. I hope marijuana can be legal one day soon.
Absolutely,Im with u. yes, people misunderstood the marihuana is s such a dangerous drug like others, but it's not true.And one thing as you said, we have proper resources to grow weeds which is competitive enough, so we can also make money not only taking taxes also exporting to other countries.
