During my last work assignment in Jersey City, New Jersey, I wrote a piece on cannabis, or marijuana, but I never got around to posting it. The inspiration came from noticing dispensaries on nearly every corner and seeing people smoked it openly like it was cigarettes.
I still believe that the mass decriminalization is not a good thing. The long term negative effects of marijuana on young people minds are still being studied, and as a healthcare professional, that concerns me. That’s what that piece was pretty much about. Maybe one day I would be able to share it in full, but for now, here’s the short version:
Don’t smoke marijuana. It’s dangerous.
From what I have observed, most people who smokes regularly do not live productive lives. Many of them don’t like to work, and if they do work, they often make just enough to get high again. I know people who smokes it. I have also had access to it but I have never smoked. Thank God.
About addiction, it is real. I once saw a young man in a freezing weather desperately searching for leftover joints on the ground. That image stuck with me.
Note: Life is too serious to always be chasing a high.
Stay sober. Face life as it is.
