The legalization of marijuana implies complete freedom of action for those who are passionate about it. I used marijuana for a while, but gave it up after I started getting constant migraines. After I stopped smoking, my well-being improved, but a side effect was insomnia and anxiety. It's a terrible feeling that I had a hard time getting rid of. My sister suggested a place where I could buy kratom with credit card. I didn't know then what kratom was and what properties it had. After a few months of use, the headaches visited me less and less often. My anxiety was completely forgotten.

It's good to read you're feeling better.

Anxiety Is very difficult to manage, and can have a serious Impact on just about everything you do. A lot of people use Alprazolam (Xanax) which significantly reduces anxiety levels, however It's highly addictive and when taken In high doses (10 mg+ a day), It's very hard to quit.

I believe it should be treated similar to alcohol

Very good point.

Given It works for alcohol, I don't see what the difference would be with marijuana.

I'm in favor of legalizing marijuana if people need it.

I agree with you. Take the example of Portugal, where all existing drugs were legalized and the whole world expected it to be a disaster, but it turned out the opposite. Fewer people started using drugs, and overdose deaths decreased. I am in favor of legalizing marijuana, as there are many people who need it to ease their pain. I know there are a lot of people who are against it, but that's as long as they don't have any pain. I don't smoke pot because I have a pain, but because I just like it, it relaxes me perfectly. If marijuana is legalized, it means that it is safe.

Not many people overdose on purpose. I'd imagine prevalence of Fentanyl, lack of Narcan, and lethal interactions are responsible for more deaths than anything. Providing safety to addicts should be more important than punishing them.

I think being legalized Is not the Issue.

Irrespective of how and where It's obtained, It all comes down to being responsible and taking It In moderation. There's absolutely no harm In doing so.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. I genuinely believe that the only way to help solve drug problems is to stop punishing and provide support instead. If you give a drug addict a prison sentence, you are literally making it harder for that person to come out and get a job. This means they're far more likely to turn to illegal drug trading as a means to make money. It sets in a cycle that a person can't get out of. If you want a drug addict to become a productive member of society, then help them, don't lock them up.

The legalization of marijuana did not stop anyone from using drugs. I think that people need to understand the real consequences of addiction, then we will hear less about overdoses or other frightening situations. Personally, I use marijuana for medicinal purposes, it helps me cope with insomnia, relaxes my body and body. I am independent, but I understand the risks that may arise, so I control these processes. Daily Marijuana helps me a lot with this, so I really recommend it

I think the real point of legalization is to stop people from using drugs (making something illegal doesn't stop people either), but it provides people more legal and accessible avenues of dealing with the problem. Having an issue where you can't ask for help, because it will literally enhance the problem, vs having the ability to reach out for help and get professional support... Which one do you think is best?
