The Health Effects of Moderate Marijuana Use and Why Is It Illegal?

Question by King V: The health effects of moderate marijuana use and why is it illegal?
I’ve been looking through several medical journals and websites on the health effects on marijuana, but I can only find health effects on marijuana ‘abuse.’ Naturally, no drug is good in excess, legal or illegal and it’s rather bothersome that physicians emphasize the dangers in drug abuse, but don’t advise on the risks if used in moderation. Perhaps in fear of promoting illegal activity or addiction.

But I see it as a drug not unlike alcohol and tobacco (and alcohol was in prohibition long ago), but I just really want to understand why it truly is illegal. Medical or otherwise.

Please, written sources and facts are encouraged.

I dunno I smoke a good bit of weed (maybe like a dime every couple days) and all it does is make you lazy and retarded lookin… it helps apetite for me, good for getting a lot of protein 🙂

Id say as long as youre not wake n baking and smoking a half OZ a day then youre fine

its illegal because the government cant tax it. and because white people in the 50s and got scared when their kids startin using it, but it was never a problem when minorities were the main users. I used to smoke a lot of weed and i dont notice any side effects.
