Tennessee Marijuana Legalization And Why It Should Happen

By Allyson Burke


Residents of Tennessee do not need to ask themselves why marijuana should be made legal. It is up to the government to offer explanation for its ban, and so far it has not convincingly done so. The truth is, as long as people feel oppressed by cannabis laws; they are in a position to repeal the case strongly. Below is a look at Tennessee marijuana legalization and why it should happen.

If cannabis was legal, it would probably not be as appealing as it is now. Its illegality makes teenagers try to earn quick money selling it. By legalizing it, the excessive profits made when the drug is sold would be curtailed, denying teens the incentive to be drug dealers. A market for cannabis that is legal and regulated would not only curtail its sale but also its use.

Cannabis is not a destructive drug, at least when compared to others such as tobacco and alcohol. Scientific facts have proven that it is not toxic to human beings, and almost impossible to overdose on it. Additionally, its addictive levels are much lower than that of alcohol and tobacco. It is therefore unfair and unjust for users to be treated more harshly than those who take other drugs.

Justification of illegality of marijuana increasingly needs selective use of scientific records and distortions. This harms the credibility of scientists, teachers and law enforcement officers throughout Tennessee. The dangers of its use have been exaggerated out of proportion, with the madness predictions resulting from it not supported by modern scientific records. Many claims of the drugs dangers are based on ancient prejudices presented at a time when science did not know how it produced its effects.

Cannabinoid receptor systems were discovered during the late 1980s, and since then the dangers associated with the drug has not received approval from modern research. It is true that marijuana, cigarettes and beer are definitely not for kids. By contrast, over time adults have proven that if taken moderately, cannabis has no impact that can be considered harmful to the user or his or her society.

Cannabis use has certain positive attributes, such as its medicinal value and as a recreational drug with mild side effects. Most people, especially those who suffer from a variety of serious ailments, know the drug is good for them thus they use it. It relieves pain, nausea, spasticity and other conditions that cannot be treated successful using convectional medications.

When looking for a mild and moderate way of relaxation, many adults in Tennessee prefer cannabis over alcohol. They choose to use it as they have made personal observation that the drug has a low addictive liability as well as mild side effects. While a majority of its users have developed a tolerance to its side effects, those who cannot decide to quit.

Use of cannabis is due to an informed opinion whereby the user knows it has more benefits than risks. For those living in Tennessee, probably the biggest risk is getting arrested, but the chances of that happening are quite low.

Users have not backed down from their Tennessee marijuana legalization campaign, in spite of the assorted punishments. Their determination is driven by a quest for justice and knowledge of society's fundamental values.
