미국, 대마초 합법화의 그늘 (KBS_326회_2023.09.16.방송)

♦︎ Late last month, US health authorities recommended classifying marijuana as a less hazardous substance, making full federal legalization of marijuana more tangible. Since the pandemic, numerous states have legalized marijuana for both medical and recreational use, leading to explosive growth in the marijuana market. However, the legalization of marijuana, the so-called "gateway drug," has also raised concerns. New York City, which fully legalized marijuana two years ago, has seen a surge in marijuana consumption, with the streets filled with the smell of marijuana. Exposure to marijuana has led to a surge in health risks for adolescents and children, and even the emergence of "synthetic marijuana" containing highly toxic drugs like fentanyl. #CorrespondentReportTheWorldNow #WorldNow #InternationalCurrentAffairs CorrespondentReportTheWorldNow (Aired every Saturday at 9:40 PM on KBS 1TV)
