Marijuana is a second-class drug in Taiwan, and its use, possession, manufacture, and trafficking have to face penalties, but recently, many film and television celebrities have shouted "marijuana is harmless," and some people have even proposed on the "public policy network platform" of the National Development Commission. It is hoped that the government can build a "marijuana cafe" to solve the drug problem through open management, increase employment opportunities and expand tourism.

A proposal on "building marijuana cafes" appeared on the public policy network platform on 18 August. The sponsor pointed out that the government has invested a lot of energy and resources in the fight against drugs, but in principle, the drug problem cannot be banned, so he believes that it would be better to adopt open management to build marijuana cafes and let the government manage them openly.

The sponsors also put forward several specific implementation methods, including "using the government's idle premises for construction" and "establishing management measures such as service staff and drinking restrictions." The service clerk must obtain a nurse's license and a marijuana barista's license. " , "combine the health insurance system to make the management more comprehensive and convenient." Finally, the sponsors also said that allowing drugs to move from underground to open management will not only reduce the social problems caused by drugs, but also increase employment opportunities and even expand tourism.

Many netizens also expressed their views: "one of the most advanced countries in the world have long been open to smoking marijuana. Taiwan is too conservative, and if it really wants to ban it, tobacco, alcohol, coffee, and sleeping pills are also harmful to the human body, and should be banned together!" , "regardless of addiction and pharmacology, marijuana is not needed by human beings in the first place, not to mention that smoking marijuana interferes with the function of the brain, and the addicts are unable to think as usual and are prone to sudden behavior!"

The Food and Drug Administration of the Ministry of Health and Welfare has come forward to explain similar issues many times, pointing out that long-term use of marijuana can be addictive and lead to impaired attention, memory, and judgment. even lack of direction, confusion, loss of personality, delusions, hallucinations, and indifference to the surrounding affairs of the "motivation deficiency syndrome." In addition, marijuana is smoked in the form of cigarettes, so it will be similar to smoking, increase the risk of lung cancer, reduce immunity, also do great harm to the heart, and have an impact on fertility.

At present, the proposal is seconded by 22 people, and if it can get another 4978 in the remaining 57 days, the competent government agency must respond within 60 days.
