Legalize Marijuana? In whose interest

Some States in the USA are gradually legalizing the use of Marijuana popularly known as Indian hemp(Igboo), granted that it is medicinal but the disadvantage is enormous, I once had a friend called Rex,
he smoked Indian Hemp in our youthful days as if tomorrow will not come, he mixes  it with gin and sometimes cooks it with rice,

Rex was constantly high 247, he claimed Indian hemp was the only blood in his vein, he was simply addicted to it and currently he is mentally disoriented and feeds from the dust bin (mad man) I saw so many youths that abused drugs in my growing up days follow the same trend as Rex.

The truth is this “you cannot control the abuse of Marijuana” once a man is high on it, he finds it difficult to let go, how can you let go of something that makes you feel as if you are in the moon dancing with the twinkle stars.

I strongly suggest that the States should have a rethink; it is not all about legalizing (Recreational Marijuana) but efficient and effective monitoring of the specified intake which is difficult most times.
