Why is Marijuana ILLEGAL in the Philippines?

I could say controlled but can be used for beneficial purposes and not totally tolerated to be used casually by our common Juan. It's quite more risky to let Juan use it more often so that he could recuperate with the bad effects, maybe he will never reach that stage, mangled vehicles and dismembered body parts is all I could think of.

look, for the first 200 years of USA republic, pot is widely used. the government even accepts cannabis as tax payment. for 200 years, usa should have self destruct simce cannabis was used for nutrition, clothing, and medication for children and adults. if indeed what critics say is true about cannabis, then there should be no usa right now. why should not average juan bemefit from pot? is there a racial preference for which the benefits of pot can be enjoyed?

As more states are poised to legalize medicinal marijuana, it's looking like dope is playing a larger role as a cause of fatal traffic accidents.

Columbia University researchers performing a toxicology examination of nearly 24,000 driving fatalities concluded that marijuana contributed to 12% of traffic deaths in 2010, tripled from a decade earlier.

NHTSA studies have found drugged driving to be particularly prevalent among younger motorists. One in eight high school seniors responding to a 2010 survey admitted to driving after smoking marijuana. Nearly a quarter of drivers killed in drug-related car crashes were younger than 25. Likewise, nearly half of fatally injured drivers who tested positive for marijuana were younger than 25.

A National Highway Traffic Safety Administration study found that 4% of drivers were high during the day and more than 6% at night, and that nighttime figure more than doubled on weekends.
Marijuana playing larger role in fatal crashes

I have read this article a dozen times. But no matter how fancy they create trial and error examinations, it still won't prove that a person got outmanuevred, lost steering control because of smoking weed. Here's the difference:

Alcohol stays in our system for hours. MJ stays in our system for weeks or months. That person who died in a vehicular crash could have smoked pot weeks ago then drove his car. Now, some fathead scientist claims this discovery, the guy died because of THC in his blood serum. Typical "conservative" bullsh!t.

yes, 200 years ago they do not yet have that car called corvette and that queue called heavy traffic.

are you categorically saying, that due to something's legality makes people consume it or not? there are short term and long term effects of pot and depends on the concentration mix of thc and cbd which can be regulated if it is legal. long term use of pot removes all negative effects, that is a scientific fact of 20 years following different groups of people using pot. when you start going to the gym, you feel tired, aching, and low energy but as you progress, you will feel the opposite.

The drug can affect more than your physical health. Studies in Australia in 2008 linked years of heavy marijuana use to brain abnormalities. This is backed up by earlier research on the long-term effects of marijuana, which indicate changes in the brain similar to those caused by long-term abuse of other major drugs. And a number of studies have shown a connection between continued marijuana use and psychosis.

matud sa wiki -
Psychosis refers to an abnormal condition of the mind, and is a generic psychiatric term for a mental state often described as involving a "loss of contact with reality".

mao siguro ni hinungdan na imo najud ipa legalized ang marijuana kay nawag tangan naka ug contact sa realidad

ah, so in your position, because of pots risk in traffic accodents, it should remain illegal?

Yup, hypothesis versus actual studies made,
I could discern clearly which is which is more credible.

have you considered the recent studies? like in colorado? i know there are negative studies about pot, but nothing confirmatory.

Of course,
it is counterproductive if it will benefit others but at the same same time it will harm to those who suppose would benefit from it.
It is as simple as that, but if it is really necessary for other purposes then it should be controlled not totally legalized, and that is my position my dear friend. Keep it for industrial/medical use but keep it away from direct public use.

Okay, let's put it this way. If someone you knew smoked weed on the 5th of June, then got into an accident by the 20th of June. Is it credible or even logical to say that MJ caused his death? Because medical examiners who tested his blood, claims THC was present?

Do you think it's logical? Or just overly conflated?
