Natural Or Is It

Natural drug if not tampered with by human kind.
No worse or better for any human then any other.
Some will say that it is safe and better then most.
I say it depends on the user, just like other drugs.

Just like alcohol some can handle, some cannot.
It alters the mind and numbs the physical.
There are no side effects, some do say. Today,
Through personal experience, I know different.

Using marijuana for medical needs may suffice.
This proves that it is a drug, yes truly indeed.
However, the medicinal drug has been changed.
From its natural state, to make it so effective,

Though I also know, the day will come soon.
That it will be legalized, and sold like liquor.
With the same limits and chosen, buzz limit.
In addition, some will abuse it, like alcohol addiction.

I have seen many of my schoolmates become lost.
No room for tiny thoughts, loss of daily time,
Not able to be rational, for even simple tasks,
Lost in a whirlwind of days of no knowledge,

You might be laughing, saying I am crazy.
If nothing else, usage will make you lazy.
