Lately, in both newspapers and on television, there has been a lot of rumors about the legalization of marijuana. This action was initiated by an organization called LGN which has a vision to make cannabis tree as one of the plants that can be utilized as wide as possible for the life of Indonesian people and mankind in general. Actually this action is not the first action on the legalization of marijuana, in the international world there is called Global Marijuana March (GMM) or Million Marijuana March (MMM) held every Saturday in the first week of May. This action has been started since 1999 with 600 cities around the world taking an active role in this celebration. Both these actions, both actions initiated by LGN and GMM / MMM, have a similar goal of wanting to embrace cannabis as part of everyday life.
Of course this legalization action reap the pros and cons in the community. Here, I am as a writer, do not want to give a subjective opinion on this matter. Here, I will only share about the knowledge I have in a neutral way.
