Unemployment Stats: I Blame Marijuana

One great challenge to the world's future is marijuana.  Marijuana undo's education, lowers IQ and damages young developing minds among many other things that are cited in a .gov article on the web.  I am very afraid of this plant because its users can see nothing wrong with it, which is probably a combination of addiction and poor judgement.  As I write this, more young adults smoke this kind of dope than cigarettes, and they are also proving themselves unable to do necessities, such keep a job.  This drug, and the poor judgment caused by it which leads others to harder drugs is in my opinion the holocaust of this generation.  I consider it very fearful because I believe that there is nothing more important than the mind.  Our large intellectual brains are what makes us special as a species, more than anything else. Look to birds for flight.  For speed look to cheetahs. But, for intelligence look to humans.

How Does Marijuana Affect a User’s Life?

Research shows marijuana may cause problems in daily life or make a person's existing problems worse. Heavy marijuana users generally report lower life satisfaction, poorer mental and physical health, more relationship problems, and less academic and career success compared to non-marijuana-using peers. For example, marijuana use is associated with a higher likelihood of dropping out of school. Several studies also associate workers' marijuana smoking with increased absences, tardiness, accidents, workers' compensation claims, and job turnover.
