Government shuts down what marijuana they can because, it cures cancer and all kinds of diseases, and it would make oil obsolete if it were cultivated properly... to say nothing about cotton.
I don’t smoke marijuana but it’s quite harmless, certainly nowhere near as bad for you as heavy alcohol use or smoking cigarettes addiction.
As with everything, doing thinks in moderation is important.
I don’t see any reason why the odd joint is a really bad thing though. If you want to light up with friends then go for it.

Legalizing it not just in the US but all over the world is the way to go, but of course Governments are stubborn and won't easily accept this because always about money. Banned growth and use of Marijuana by the public while the very same Government grows it for "medicinal purposes" should be able to raise eyebrows.
Alcohol has almost similar effects as marijuana, but guess what? It isn't banned in most nations because there is no money in it.

Freedom dictates that one may do whatever he wants, as long as he injures nobody else.
Government should advertise the dangers of marijuana a hundred times more than they do, with the true scientific studies to back them. Then let the people be free.
It is standard in common law right now, that if a person injures someone else, he should be made to repay the injury. We don't need any special drug laws. Only good, solid advertising.
If someone damages himself because he won't accept the 'advertising', let his family or the church take care of him. Why should the people, through taxes, be forced to bear the burden of someone doing self-harm, especially after he has been warned over and over?

A number of territories, district and well over twenty states in the US have legalized recreational use of canabis.But considering it's many negative health implications,is it a step in the right direction or is it completely risky to continue legalizing it?

I don't have anything against moderate use of marijuana. When used moderately the user can be able to control his behavior or other activities. I have observed that the prohibition of the use of marijuana always give rise to the use of other dangerous drugs that cannot be easily dictated. Law enforcement agencies can easily arrest someone smoking marijuana but it would be very difficult to identify someone that puts few hard drugs into his mouth.
Some persons have agued that the use of drugs could lead to financial crisis because of the cost of these drugs. Marijuana is relatively cheaper than most drugs which means it could hardly have negative impact on the finance of a moderate user.
Apart from the health problems associated with smoking and the abuse of marijuana, I think legalizing it might reduce dangerous drug trafficking and use.
My take is that in the land of the free you should be able to grow and light on fire whatever you want as long as it isn’t hurting anyone else. I’ve lived in states with legal marijuana use since 1996 and I’ve never seen it be a major problem. The only real concern I have is that people could be less effective drivers, but I’d still bet an average person high on marijuana is a better driver than someone 70+ years old. Still, I think better tests to more accurately assess impaired drivers is probably necessary.
