Cannabis is certainly the most wanted drug in Europe
While the EU spends 31 billion Euros on illicit drugs annually and newer psychoactive substances appear each year, cannabis is still at the top, which makes a lot of good sense. Generally speaking, injected drugs are on the decline in the EU. Heroin is declining too. What is alarming is the extent of injections of amphetamines with half of the users preferring the injected form. Among illicit drugs, 83.2 million Europeans say they have tried cannabis, 38.7 million at some point during the previous year. Next comes cocaine with 17.1 million. Ecstasy is 13 million. It is alarming that the online world supports sales but not on the surface, somewhere in the dark depths most people would never reach.

Highly potent cannabis now captures the market
Unlike the previous decades, potent cannabis with immense THC levels drives users into emergency rooms in health facilities. Europe produces most of the herbal cannabis. The cannabis resin that is called hashish and comes from Morocco contains superior THC percentages and provokes harsh effects upon the user. Cannabis can no longer be called a soft drug since the pattern of consumption and the frequency matter so much. Higher potencies could lead to these sudden debilitating effects.
Long-term cannabis use could lead to gum disease
Over 20 years of cannabis use across ages 18 to 38, a survey in New Zealand indicates that gum disease could occur and teeth may be affected. Besides gums and teeth, there appears no other adverse impact upon health. A thousand respondents were studied over two decades. Several aspects were studied like BMI, lung function, BP, glucose, HDL, triglycerides etc.
2016 American presidential candidates support the cause of marijuana!
Being amenable to marijuana legalization is the hallmark of the distinguished presidential candidates. Who are the supporters and what difference will they make to the federal legal status of weed? Hillary and Bernie among the Democrats and Trump from the Republican side are believed to be sympathetic to the marijuana debate. The Marijuana Policy Project hopes that federal hurdles to marijuana policy may be helped. All the candidates support the demand for legal medical marijuana as well as for adult use. They believe that marijuana should be regulated, akin to alcohol. Besides, states should be free to frame their own marijuana stipulations.
