In other countries this is legal. but in the Philippines, it's not. What are your thoughts about this?

is it bad like alcohol? i think not. but i think research on marijuana as a medicine should have been done decades ago. the fact that we have not study it as a means of medicine is truly disappointing.

Now lets talk about its recreational use. when you drink alcohol because it affects so many parts of your body, it gives you hangovers, it makes you throw up, it function itself as a deterrent so you limit how much you drink and and often you drink. but if you smoke marijuana or eat it, they say you can do that for a long period of time, even multiple days in a row. And it does not much as a deterrent other than being smelly because a lot of people are turned off by the smell of it. I myself even hate the smell of cigarette smokes. So without its significant deterrent effect you can actually consume a lot of this compared to alcohol.

Some people also self medicate using this. They have some social anxieties and instead of facing their goals, instead of achieving and becoming better people, that they can become happier with themselves, they blunt that anxiety by smoking or ingesting marijuana.

So do I think marijuana is this horrible evil thing that people have once said it once was, I think it's on its way to get legalized, but that doesn't mean that it's safe, it doesn't mean that I recommend people do it, I do think it has serious medical harms that do exist, that we don't yet even know about 'cause it hasn't been studied properly.

WE just don't have the, research to show otherwise. The big danger with marijuana is young people using it and it can change the chemistry of your brain and change the development of it so that's obviously a danger. But we can regulate that, we can control it. There are some pros, there's also some cons. It's about balancing that and getting your science in order before making a decision.
