Prop 19, the bill that many hope will be passed to allows marijuana to be legal, could bring about some disasterous consequences. For instance, say while you are driving down the street and you are hit by a delivery man. He had just come off his smoke break and was under the influence of marijuana when he slammed into your car. Sounds ridiculous right? Well if this bill is passed more and more people will be using their smoke breaks to smoke pot.
There was a time in most people’s life when they have smoked marijuana. After growing out of that stage, most of those people would not want to encounter someone who is high on marijuana when they are dealing with a teacher, a police officer, or a doctor.
Despite what most marijuana advocates may say, marijuana is still widely considered a gateway drug. Those working in the rehabilitation field will say that the vast majority of people suffering from a heroin addiction, or a crystal meth addiction, or any other substance abuse problem, started off abusing marijuana. While marijuana may seem harmless, eventually a person who is addicted to marijuana will move on to bigger and more dangerous drugs.
The only real way to handle a marijuana abuse problem is to enroll in an effective drug and alcohol rehab. If you or anyone you know is addicted to marijuana it is vital to get help immediately.
