This would inhibit my first impediment about marijuana, my parents' beliefs and how they intended to raise me. As a child, you are in the development of your parents' they each provide you with 13 chromosomes that develop you into who you are physically. Having to abide by your parents rules and do what they ask based on their say-so is what develops the type of mental state you'll have and your initial outlook on different subjects.
As I grew older, I began to gain a bit of independence in my own thinking and tried to draw my own conclusions. During my preteen years, I questioned everything I was told to do, why I could or couldn't do something. Why I could and couldn't do the things others could do. As a result, I took a bit of a challenge towards authority and to date, it has stuck with me. I developed a mindset where, I won't be restricted access or have lack of opportunity without an adequate explanation of why it is I can't. The same became true of the use of marijuana. Throughout years of the D.A.R.E. Programs in school and being fed false propaganda around the subject, led me to need to know for myself. What is it about the experience that makes people who recognize it is illegal and continue to desire to do so? Why is it that the government is so strict upon the use of marijuana? How could some, (medical users) develop the approval to use marijuana and not be criminalized for their actions? It was here that signs of what my view on legalization of marijuana would start to form. .
As a cannabis connoisseur, I've put together my own basis of information around marijuana from personal experience, shared experiences with other users and the cold tough facts. According to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), Marijuana is considered a Schedule 1 substance, meaning; it is a drug that has no potential for medical use or high potential for abuse. However, this isn't completely accurate; marijuana has long been known for its use in the treatment in glaucoma.
