Arguments to approach the debate regarding the legalization of marijuana in Mexico
Main Article Content
Abstract
Marijuana legalization in Mexico has caused highly intense debates. The complexity of the phenomenon deserves a detailed exposition of pros and cons of legalizing a third addictive substance besides alcohol and tobacco. Among the most relevant pros are the acquisition of control over production, quality and commercialization of marijuana, and the possibility of increasing epidemiologic and scientific knowledge for better prevention of addiction and search for medicinal uses of cannabis through clinical trials. The cons include the health risks that users experiment and the potential harmful power that cannabis consumption brings if driving under its effects with impairment of motor skills, as well as emotional changes like aggressiveness and behavioral modifications. Regardless of the consensus about legalization it is important to conduct the discussion without prejudices.
