Marijuana On Campus

Marijuana has been one of the most controversial issues in the United States when it comes to its legality. It serves as a symbol of crime, stupidity, and abuse. However, it also is viewed as a medical asset as well as large opportunity to create revenue for the Government should it become legal. As it stands today the illegal use of Marijuana has become relatively common throughout the nation today. The use of this drug on campus is no exception.
Walking around campus I've seen several instances of an almost acceptance of Marijuana from the general population. One such occasion was several days where users camped out in tents in the middle of the campus to relax and support legalization. It is almost impossible to go into college and not find Marijuana usage. However, a lot of the time Marijuana usage begins not in college but in High School.
I once tried Marijuana my Senior of High School. The effects are almost a numbing of the senses. You feel light headed and on top of the world. This is also known as the "high" feeling. The drug is characterized by a smell sort of like burnt grass. There are several ways I have seen people use the drug. Whether it be through a bong or hookah, the goal is almost always the same. The user comes down slowly from being high and does not crash. However, there has been evidence to support that brain cells are lost in the process of smoking weed. A fact that has not stopped a large portion of today's youth from indulging in it.
