There are many cons to the use of this drug. Marijuana produces immediate, temporary changes in thoughts, perceptions, and information processing, even though there is no convincing scientific evidence that pot causes psychological damage or mental illness in either teenagers or adults. Many Americans believe that marijuana plays a role in violent acts while on this drug. Almost all human and animal studies show that pot decreases rather than increases aggression. There is a myth that pot interferes with male and female sex hormones, but in fact there is no evidence that marijuana causes infertility in men or women. Another con of pot is it could possibly be a gateway drug. Even if marijuana itself causes minimal harm, it is a dangerous substance because it leads to the use of harder drugs. One of the biggest cons of legalizing "Mary Jane" would be that a large amount of Americans would be smoking pot all the time, and they would end up going to work stoned, and not think straight while on the job. .
Marijuana is rapidly increasing in popularity throughout the world. Many people find pot to be a gateway drug, like a stepping stone toward other harmful drugs. There are many reasons why young kids get into this drug at an early age, one reason I think this is because of the types of music kids listen to. If your children listen to any CD with a parental advisory sticker, most likely that record will take about the use of marijuana and any other drugs that artists do. Marijuana is the most popular illegal drug in the United States today. Therefore, people who have used less popular drugs, such as heroin, cocaine, and LSD, are likely to have also used marijuana. Most marijuana users never use any other illegal drug. For the large majority of people, marijuana is a terminus rather than a gateway drug. In a test of marijuana users ever trying cocaine, it shows that from 1975 to 1996 the highest it ever got was twenty five percent, and before that it was down ten to Fifteen percent.
