Action Project Response

The presentation about legalizing marijuana in Colorado really stood out to me. The presentation had supporting facts to back up his thesis but I strongly disagree with them. I don't believe that when he said that marijuana doesn't harm the human body because marijuana destroys brain cells. Medical marijuana is a different matter because when cancer patients go through the painful procedure of chemotherapy, small amounts of marijuana can help relieve their pain. He stated in the power point that smoking marijuana will make kids not drink as much I thought that was very irrelevant because smoking pot is just as bad as drinking alcohol, if not worse. Alcohol messes with your immune system like destroying your liver but marijuana destroys your brain cells and hurts your cerebral system. They are both highly addictive and sound unpleasant in my opinion. Is the alternative to teens drinking alcohol telling them to smoke pot instead? There are other solutions such as NOT DRINKING OR SMOKING MARIJUANA AT ALL!!!
