According to Jessica Atkins many crimes in several states are increasing due to the “selling and possession” of the substance. Atkins also pointed out that marijuana is a “natural herb” and it is extremely less dangerous than any other illegal substance. With that being said many also worry about parents who also consume this drug and the effects it would have on their children. Dr. Melanie Dreher conducted many experiments and has inferred that children who are born to marijuana consuming parents show no factors of birth defects, also the child tends to be more intelligent than children not born to marijuana consuming parents. There is also a lot of benefits towards consuming medical marijuana also, it can benefit anyone who has a mental illness and could also help a woman's pregnancy with decreasing the sense of nausea and vomiting. Marijuana is a very controversial topic especially legalizing it but people need to realize that there are substances that are killing many people today that are completely legal under the federal law and it is injustice to keep a drug that has many benefits and could help people

Many advocates say “ Marijuana is a common drug used by many people.”(Sandra) A lot of people think marijuana has numerous amounts of negative effects on the body. Marijuana helps the body in many different ways. It relaxes and relives stress from many people. It has been proven that marijuana does not kill brain cells, like most people seem to think it does. Marijuana also helps the creativity of people. It gives people new

The dispute over the legalization of cannabis sativa, more commonly known as marijuana, is one of the most controversial issues ever to take place in the United States. Its use as a medicine has existed for thousands of years in many countries across the globe. Legalization should be considered despite efforts made by groups who say marijuana is a harmful drug that will increase crime rates and lead users to other more dangerous substances. The legalization of marijuana can improve our society by helping with our economy, freeing legal resources, and benefiting the overall health of the nation though medical uses.

Marijuana has been around for centuries. It comes from the species of plant Cannabis Sativa, and is used for things other that its renowned drug form, such as rope, clothing, medicines, and oils. Other common names for it include

The legalization of marijuana is, and has been a heavily disputed issue for decades. On one hand, marijuana could lead to a medical breakthrough, or at least provide relief to cancer and AIDS patients. On the other hand, legalizing a drug could expose it to too broad an audience. As a drug, marijuana has never proven to be anywhere near as harmful as cigarettes or alcohol. Each year in the United States, 400,000 people die from tobacco, 50,000 from alcohol, and from marijuana, zero. Regardless of what side one may take to this argument, there are some causes to this marijuana debate that everyone should know. Marijuana was not always illegal, and the reasons behind the history of narcotic regulation are interesting when viewed from

Marijuana, also referred to as Cannabis sativa, is a drug whose leaves and other parts of the hemp are smoked to cause an effect that is usually referred to as “high” by most people. Since the existence of the drug became known, the issue as to whether marijuana should be legalized or not is a debate that has been highly contested. Regardless of its negative effects, marijuana has been tested by the American Society and proven to be beneficial. The core purpose of the essay is to elaborate why marijuana should be legalized in all states in the US.

Another argument against medical marijuana is that there is no conclusive research that supports the benefit of the medical use of marijuana. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health said, “The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) hasn’t found that marijuana is safe or effective for treating any health problems”(2017). There is also health problems when it comes to smoking any substance, let alone marijuana. The inhalation of smoke into the throat and lungs can cause many long term health issues. Lung and throat cancers are only a few examples of what smoke inhalation can do to a person’s body. On the other hand, many people believe that medical marijuana has many health benefits that can help the ill in various ways. Although medical marijuana may bring some negative health factors, the overarching benefits vastly outway the harm it can do. I believe that marijuana is a positive thing for the United States. One of those benefits is the economic upturn that marijuana can provide. The Tax Foundation says, “A mature marijuana industry could generate up to $28 billion in

There are references of marijuana use in medical writings from China since 2737 BC (History of Marijuana,2015). It was used then to treat gout, rheumatism, malaria, and absent-mindedness. In the Middle East, it was

Marijuana is a very controversial issue in society today. There have been many false claims about cannabis, but the truths are starting to resurface. Marijuana has many good purposes other than creating the feeling of a “high” and i think that is what people need to understand. You will many times hear the stereotypical view of what people see as a “pot smoker” who is lazy and unmotivated and while that may seem true, it isn’t entirely correct. If someone is lazy and unmotivated before using weed, they will remain the same after. Though there are many cons about marijuana, they aren’t entirely true and marijuana has many benefits that will help everyone. I strongly believe that marijuana should be used for all uses.

It can help with glaucoma, strokes, anxiety, PTSD, etc.; and a creative mind, but that's not really a health problem (“Loria, 2014”). Some studies show that weed is less harmful to your body than smoking and drinking (“NBC News-Breaking News & Top stories- Latest world, US & local News”). In Business Insider, Israel and other places say “ the compounds in cannabis could even kill cancer cells.” Things like this can help people around the world but we choose to do something else with them.

The medical use of Marijuana is a perfectly healthy choice because it helps people of many diseases. A chemical found within Marijuana is shown to stop cancer from spreading. Cancer is a serious disease that kills many people per year. “Marijuana slows the progression of Alzheimer’s disease,” says the Scripps Research Institute. Alzheimer’s is a terminal disease that slowly makes the brain decay. The medical use of Marijuana helps people battling serious diseases and gives them an extra push to finish it off.

Marijuana is a shredded mix of dry flowers, stems and the seeds of a plant called cannabis and people usually smoke it in the form of cigarettes for relaxation. Ever since marijuana hit mainstream America over 30 years ago, government prohibition of it has been the subject of an ongoing debate. Should marijuana be legalized? Proponents of marijuana argue that there are numerous medical benefits and that the drug is not more harmful than tobacco or alcohol. Therefore, prohibiting it intrudes on personal freedom. On the other hand, opponents argue that marijuana is too dangerous; its legalization would increase the chances of the drug falling into the hands of kids and that marijuana use often progresses to the use of more dangerous drugs

A well-known issue, right now, in the USA is that of the legalization of marijuana. This controversial topic is on the minds of our entire country. Whether or not to legalize marijuana has been a nation wide debate for years. In this informative speech I will be discussing only facts and opinions. Opinions and facts will come from organizations such as The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, Marijuana Legalization Organization and the Drug Policy Alliance. Marijuana Legalization is an issue because there are so many individuals using the substance illegally. These individuals feel that Marijuana is not a harmful substance and can serve to profit states that legalize it.

Legalizing marijuana may seem as a good idea for the government to do as it can generate more jobs, more money, and have many health benefits, but it also leads to other problems people do not realize. They say it helps you feel good and it is less harmful than alcohol and tobacco. Right now there are a few states that have legalized the use of marijuana, where the media shows the positive side effects of the plant being legalized, but disregards the negative side effects legalizing marijuana has. Throughout this essay, I will be persuading you on why marijuana should not be legalized. Marijuana should not be legalized for a few reasons. First, marijuana use has negative health side effects, second, it increases the chances of using other drugs, and finally, it endangers public safety. So instead of focusing the advantages marijuana has, it also has disadvantages on why it should still remain illegal.

This plant has been used for medical purposes by different countries around the world, although many believe marijuana is the most effective drug in combating their medical ailments, it also has its negative side as a dangerous drug and in the other hand there are some other medicine that can be taken to relieve pain which are not danger to the body. Marijuana can lead to the development of a lot of problems such as substance use disorder which can cause to addiction in severe cases. It can make a person abusive and addictive to it. Marijuana also affects brain development in teenage that get involve in using marijuana, it reduces their thinking, memory, and learning functions, the effects can last a long time or even be permanent.
