I have read that studies report that approximately 27% of the UK smokes marijuana regularly.
Common stereotypes of marijuana users include being lazy, unmotivated, and having poor memory or cognitive abilities. They are sometimes seen as being unproductive or lacking ambition. However, it's important to remember that these stereotypes are not a true representation of all marijuana users as individuals vary widely in their habits, behaviors, and personality traits.
Marijuana was first prohibited by the 1937 tax act. Basically you had to have a license to grow cannabis, but in order to get the license you already had to have the plants - at which point you had already commited a felony. Prior to that little was known of marijuana and people like Harry J. Anslinger who was the Drug Czar at the time vowed to get it outlawed as it was the drug of choice by the Mexican immigrants. During this period, marijuana eventually grew to something that the government wanted to keep outlawed, while discrediting people that spoke for the legalization of it and the general consumers as "stoners". The answer to your question: About 70-80 years.
Because that's what people call it. It alters perception and it's also a medicine.
If you are not in possession of marijuana or engaging in its use, you are unlikely to be arrested solely for being in an environment where others are smoking it. It's essential to be mindful of your surroundings and ensure that you are not inadvertently participating in any illegal activities.
Assuming marijuana is illegal where you live, imagine if there were just as many, if not more, people illegally drinking booze as there are people illegally smoking pot today. Now, imagine that instead of all those people being passive-aggressive, mellow stoners, they were violent, raging alcoholics. Get the picture? It has historically been shown time and again that, despite the beliefs of abstainers, criminalizing alcohol increases crime.
Here's a bigger question, why do YOU call it marijuana? It's called CANNABIS, that's it's proper name that's been used for as long as the English dictionary used the word for that plant. Marijuana is it's propaganda name, it wasn't called MARIJUANA before the 1930's, it was called CANNABIS Just shows you how much effect that propaganda campaign effected the world. That name is still being used today, by someone like you and the others around you. Marijuana is a Mexican slang term for a wild tobacco. Later adopted by the U.S government to make people think MARIJUANA is different from CANNABIS, thus fooled society successfully.
Is it bad for people in this world to smoke marijuana.
lol absolutely not
