Why Marijuana Should Be Legal
Essay
Why should marijuana be legal in the Netherlands?
My essay is about soft drugs such as marijuana should not be illegal but well legal and controlled by the government.
I always thought that marijuana was always legal in the Netherland until I read an article in the newspaper. I was surprise to have read that, because majorities of people here in the Netherlands are not troubled by the fact those soft drugs are sold in coffee shops. That is one of the reasons why I chose this topic for my essay. In this essay I will argument the following: * If Marijuana is legalized then they will be less illegal distribution * Coffee shops are allowed legally to sell, but buying wholesale of soft drugs is illegal. This prevents criminal activities. * By legalizing soft drugs the usage could be controlled …show more content…
Soft drugs are officially illegal in The Netherlands.
But politics and the governments they don’t bother themselves too much with it. And that makes it seems like soft drugs, such as marijuana is legal in The Netherland. That is called tolerance. But it is still a problem how the government deals with this. Coffee shops are legally allowed to sell, but buying the soft drugs is illegal. But on a regular basis there is always a cannabis plantation popping up somewhere. Coffee shops are limited on the quantity that they are allowed to buy that makes it that the rest of soft drugs are shipped out of the country and sold for a high price. That makes The Netherland at the head of the list as number one in drug trafficking what concerns cannabis. Then criminals earn lots of money in this illegal trade of cannabis. If selling, trading or exporting could be legal then the chances of criminal activities will be
less.
If the soft drugs where to be soled legal in The Netherland then there is less chances that illegal trading will be happening on the street, station, and schools. This sort of illegal behavior can jeopardize the drug tourism, most Germen tourist come to The Netherland, Amsterdam, Rotterdam to buy soft drugs. They buy their soft drug on the street for little money and poor quality. In the earlier days tourism came to The Netherlands to admire the culture but now a vast majority come to buy drugs. If people should here that soft drugs has been made legal in The Netherlands then I think people would more likely go faster to coffee shops, instead of wondering around on the streets and purchasing it illegal. If soft drugs were legal then they could be more control on the quality of the Dutch weed. Studies shows that usage of Dutch weed has a high chance on giving schizophrenia and psychotic behavior. The percentage of the Dutch weed THC can be compared to hard drugs. That’s why in my opinion soft drugs should be legalize so it can be controlled. Soft drugs in the media can influence young teens to start consuming soft drugs, it is because of the way they portrait the soft drugs, as something bad and illegal most of this you can see on music video and movies it is shown as cool and a drug seen environment.
But also in the media you can find articles and interviews on how the soft drug marijuana helps people in their chronicle illnesses. It has been proven that marijuana can help prevent swine flu. Swine flu makes your immune system go into overdrive and marijuana does the opposite, it suppressants your immune system. In other words we have a non-toxic, safe, cheap, potential treatment for a disease. There are many ways of using marijuana as medical soft drugs and it’s proven that no one ever died from it. Unlike other drugs that are sold over the counter painkillers, sleeping pills, those are drugs are potent enough to kill some one and the government controls them, that why I believe that the marijuana should be legal and controlled.
