Legalization of Medical Marijuana Many people don’t know what Marijuana is, to clarify what it is, it is a dried bud, occasionally considered cannabis with a natural dust called THC on the plant. THC is the particle that causes reactions in the body. Another thing people at times don’t comprehend correctly is that the medical use of marijuana and the recreational use is totally different. The medical use of marijuana is recommended by a doctor in the treatment of a medical condition such as cancers, HIV/AIDS, Epilepsy, and many other conditions. The recreational use of marijuana is considered a misused drug; its use is for a “high” that is not recommended by a doctor, so it is illegal, sold in the black market trade. Knowing medicals marijuana purpose, it should be legalized for its medical use only for the soul purpose to help and provide relief to the hurt and/or sick. Medical marijuana use may provide relief and/or help to many ill people; marijuana’s medical use is the new natural drug that can help with more than one problem as in many other drugs also do. Medical marijuana is a highly used substance that has been used for millennia and it is here to stay whether it is legal or not (Newton 137). It is told that marijuana will never truly go away.

The well known debate over the legalization of marijuana for recreational use in The United States has been ongoing since 1935. Recently Colorado and Washington have legalized the use of marijuana for recreational use. By doing so, the legalization of the recreational use of marijuana has become more of an issue than it already was and now brings other states to question whether or not they should legalize marijuana (Breecher).

Medical marijuana is very a big and controversial issue in today's society, currently the community is divided on the issue. Questions are always being thrown around such as "how does marijuana affect the body?" and "what good does’ marijuana do for a person?" Researchers have tried to answer these questions with multiple studies and they have shown some of the positives of medical marijuana. If something is able to help someone who is in dire need why not use it on those people to find a better solution for them. I myself am on the supportive side of the issue of medical marijuana. I don't think it should be legal to just anyone though I believe there should be a legal age law, a driving while under the influence, and a public intoxication law in effect for medical marijuana to be legal.

Many people wonder what it would be like if we legalized marijuana, and what its effect would have on today society. On the other hand many do not even want to think about the drug legalization even if it is for a good cause, such as it being made into medical marijuana. The definition of Marijuana is “dried leaves and flowering tops of the pistillate hemp plants that yield THC and are smoked in cigarettes for their intoxicating effect.” (Merriam) Many people think that Marijuana is bad due to the fact that it is a drug but what many people cannot see is that Marijuana does more than just getting a person “high” it gives the freedom to sick patients from all their harsh medicines and pain to feel more normal, and functional.

Marijuana legalization has been an argument in the United States for decades now. As of lately it has been in the media more and more, and although there are good medical reasons for marijuana legalization there are bad outcomes for it being legalized to the general public.
