A new study of the most commonly used drug has been released. Marijuana makes up for 76 percent of illegal drugs used in the US. Many people  who use Marijuana are blind to the effects. The new study led by Mary Kathryn Dahlgren says that Marijuana effects user that started at a young age the most. 

Marijuana effects cognitive abilities, causes mass activity in the frontal lobe of the brain, and endures brain development. This new research has uncovered new questions about legalizing Marijuana, and how to stop the use of Marijuana among youth.

While we are talking about marijuana let's use California as an example. Marijuana clinics are more common then Starbucks and schools in California. These clinics are for people with health issues. In many cases marijuana subdues pain to many people. However, is California going too far with legalized marijuana? How (Junky proof is their system)? How does this affect the youth?

The act of legalizing marijuana is a good thing. A person should not be imprisoned for  the procession of marijuana. When walking into a marijuana clinic it looks and feels more like a ShopRite. Marijuana is showcased in glass jars throughout the clinic. The patient can choose from different types of marijuana from Blue Dream, Train Wreck, to Chem Dawg and more.  Most clinics serve more the 600 people a day.
  
What are the long term affects of medical marijuana? Will the patient develop the same cognitive abilities as the test subjects?
