Cannabis and alcohol are the two most commonly used drugs in today's society, so although alcohol is legal in almost every country, cannabis is a drug that is not legal in every country. I have never used cannabis or alcohol in my life because I am somewhat aware of the negative effects of alcohol and ganja.The negative effects of cannabis and alcohol on the body can be seen as follows

Cannabis	Alcohol
Addiction	Respiratory Problems
Liver Damage	Mental Health Issues
Cardiovascular Problems	Addiction
Neurological Impairment	Cognitive Impairment

Alcohol also has both positive and negative effects. However, in some countries in the world, cannabis has been banned by law and alcohol has become legal. The positive effects of alcohol and cannabis can be considered as follows.

Alcohol	cannabis
Facilitates blockages and social activities	Temporary pain relief
Use for cultural and social enjoyment	Use in the production of medicines
To burn body calories	Managing stress

We have heard that long-term use of drugs can even kill people, as both types of drugs have their benefits and drawbacks. But since only the drug is legalized and cannabis is not legalized, some countries have made it illegal to sell, possess or consume cannabis.Therefore, if other drugs like ganja and alcohol have negative effects, then in my opinion, there should be a legal ban on other drugs like ganja as well as alcohol.

In fact, we have heard that cannabis is used in medicine to make some medicines. It is a benefit and we have also heard about the negative effects of its continued use. Therefore, cannabis is something that can be used as a drug and as a medicine..and I have heard of cannabis being added to food as a food flavoring. That is, I have heard that adding a few cannabis leaves to the meat can enhance its flavor. According to medical science, I think it is appropriate to use the medicines made from cannabis with a doctor's prescription if it has to be used in the face of an illness. However, I reject the use of cannabis as a drug or otherwise.

In countries where cannabis has not been legalized, many communities express their desire to legalize cannabis, but if it is legalized, the growth of the community that consumes it will increase. Then its adverse effect also increases significantly. I think that it will be very harmful to the society. However, it is possible to allow the use of cannabis through a legal license in the country only for the development of the country and the activities that bring benefits such as medicines produced related to cannabis.

Why do I think it is more appropriate? There is no decrease in drug trafficking and certain crimes. That is, in my opinion, with the legalization of ganja, there is a possibility that the society will tend to dangerous drugs that are inappropriate and more dangerous than fraud. Furthermore, by continuing to use ganja, psychological disorders will occur and crimes such as rape and theft will occur in the country. Therefore, I think it is not appropriate to legalize cannabis in the country. But a license may allow cannabis to be used for beneficial purposes.

Finally, I would like to make a kind request from my community of Steem friends. If our friends and family around us are continuously addicted to alcohol, cannabis, or other dangerous drugs, please support them to control it and inform them about its harmful effects.

I warmly invite my Steam friends to share your ideas with this community @janakee @roshani96 @senehasa

Thank You!
