POT RUINS PEOPLE'S MOTIVATION
Anyone who thinks smoking marijuana is a safe activity should consider
what it does to your brain. Just look at brain images of marijuana
users compared to those who don't use drugs.
As a counsellor, I've listened to clients tell me they lost their
motivation when they smoked marijuana.
Allowing marijuana use will, in the long run, backfire when people are
unmotivated to work and contribute to society. Instead, we will need
more drug-treatment programs.
