The risks of taking cannabis. This is why it SHOULDN’T be legalised!
Even hardcore smokers can become anxious, panicky and suspicious.
It affects your coordination, which is one of the reasons why drug driving is just as illegal as drink driving.
Some people think cannabis is harmless just because it’s a plant – but it isn’t harmless. Cannabis, like tobacco, has lots of chemical 'nasties', which can cause lung disease and cancer with long-term or heavy use, especially as it is often mixed with tobacco. It can also make asthma worse.
Cannabis is risky for anyone with a heart problem as it increases the heart rate and can affect blood pressure.
There’s also increasing evidence of a link between cannabis and mental health problems such as schizophrenia. If you’ve a history of mental health problems, depression or are experiencing paranoia, then taking this drug is not a good idea.
Frequent use of cannabis can cut a man's sperm count and suppress ovulation in women. If you’re pregnant, smoking cannabis may harm the baby.
Regular, heavy use makes it difficult to learn and concentrate. Some people begin to feel tired all the time and can't seem to get motivated.
Some users may want to buy stronger herbal cannabis to get ‘a bigger high’ but unpleasant reactions can be more powerful when you use stronger strains, and stronger varieties may lead in time to more severe dependence or more severe mental health effects.

I don't know how much you agree with frank that cannabis should never be legalized but I feel that most of the things they have put forward in their argument seem to be the affects of smoking cigarettes and although you might think perhaps that should be banned as well there could be a lot of advantages in legalizing drugs such as cannabis.
For example the underworld of drugs would become far less dangerous and certain drugs wouldn't be cut with strange things which is often what makes them so dangerous. For me situation in Holland is a good example to follow, bearing in mind cannabis is not legal in any country in the world, the Dutch simply tolerate the drug and allow it to be sold in small private businesses in a safe environment off the street where most of the problem lies.
If you're gona get cannabis banned you might as well take out the even more dangerous drugs such as alcohol and tabacco.
