use of marijuana in Korea

Last week, we talked about use of marijuana in Korea.

First of all, The definition of Marijuana. It is also called as cannabis usually.
And it causes the hallucination when you smoke it.
It is composed of more than 400 components. And the main components that cause the  hallucination is called THC.
Marijuana has been used since 300 B.C for many purposes in Korea.
Such as the paper, pain killer, fabric and entertainment.
Finally, in 1961, the marijuana regulation was established, and marijuana started to be regarded as a drug. 
Even so, in 1970's, many young people smoked it to defiance of dictatorial government.
Since then, some people has smoked it for entertainment illegally.

 So far, We have seen many news about singer's or artist's marijuana smoking.
As a result, some of them went to jail, and few of them was suspended of indictment like G-dragon. 
So, these days, there are so many controversies about whether the smoking of marijuana is legal or illegal.
Consequently, Through the discussion of last week, I thought that smoking of marijuana need to be decriminalized.
It is because, first of all, some countries are already legalized or decriminalized.
Even in Amsterdam, their using of strong drug has been decreased since the legalization.
Second, as we saw in presentation, marijuana is less harmful and less addictive than alcohol or tobacco. 
So, I agree with decriminalization of marijuana in Korea. 
But, if i have chances for smoke it, I will try it just few times in curiosity.
Because I'm not a smoker. And I take care of my health.
Anyway marijuana has harmful things and addictiveness.
Even though it is less harmful than alcohol or tobacco.
