Marijuana essay

I think that Marijuana should not be legalized. Although it is illegal, there is still a large population of users, and the legalization of it would lead to more people using than the drug than there already are now. There are more detriments to legalizing Marijuana than benefits. If Marijuana were legal, not only would the population of users increase, but it would also lead to more corruption, delinquency and poor health within our country. Honduras has enough problems as it is, but legalizing Marijuana would cause more, like drug abuse and health problems due to the use of the drug. Also it would be difficult to regulate the use of Marijuana, and thus we would have to create more laws in order to regulate the buying, selling and using of it. In Honduras marijuana is not even a popular drug, legalizing will just conduce not consumers to it. For countries like the Unites States legalization may be a solution because of the huge problem this drug causes, but in Honduras marijuana is not even a problem, and it will be better if it stays like that. Also if marijuana were legal many teens would try it for curiosity, and would feel its ok because of its legal condition. As far as I am concerned there are no benefits to legalizing Marijuana and there would be no legitimate point to legalize it. It would only lead to more problems not only within Honduras but internationally also. People will use Marijuana whether it is legal or not, so it is better if it is illegal and people who want to use it can continue using it, and the general population won't be as effected as if were legal. Marijuana should not be legal due to the fact that it would cause far more problems than benefits.
