Marijuana Should Be Legal For Recreational Use

The United States of America is losing a major war: the war on drugs. And it is time for us, as a nation, to admit our country’s drug laws are doing more harm than good. The fight against drugs is not as effective as it was originally envisioned. Both the federal government and states have taken extreme measures and enforced strict laws to keep our cities and neighborhoods free of drugs. However, it is time for a change. And I believe this change should start by settling the conflict between federal and state drug laws. The federal government should decide all drug laws nationwide and give less say to the individual states. With that being said, I think the federal government should legalize recreational marijuana use nationwide and lessen the harsh policies enforced and severe punishment for recreational use of other drugs.

Marijuana is not as harmful as people seem to think. The United States has been searching for a cure for cancer for several years and we have finally found enough information and research to cure it. Marijuana has given researchers a new medical breakthrough. Not only does it help with the symptoms of cancer, but also kills the cell growth. There are many types of cancer, three were discussed today: breast cancer, brain cancer, and lung cancer; although every type of cancer is serious, these three seem to be more and more common. It’s a sad tragedy when we have a simple cure to all types of cancers and nothing is being done about it. The FDA approves medical prescriptions all the time when they can cause serious side effects and sometimes even death; marijuana has zero scientifically proven serious side effects. With this being said, medical marijuana is more than an acceptable way to cure cancer and to help with the

Imagine you are lying in your home, suffering from the side-effects of chemotherapy and all you can do is think about how sick you are and what could possibly keep you from being secluded from life and happiness. Marijuana will prevent side-effects linked to terminal illnesses, does not cause any real harm to a humans well-being, and would increase US revenue due to taxation and also tourism. Well, according to Ed Rosenthal and Steve Kubby of the book Why Marijuana Should Be Legal, from which this viewpoint is excerpted.

The U.S Government should legalize recreational marijuana. Thanks to Lee001 for the opportunity to debate this topic. I am opposed to the resolution. Before I present my case I think it important to make a few clarifications. We are arguing if something should or should not be legal. We are not arguing what punishments are or are not justified. We are not arguing about overcrowded prisons, or mandatory minimums, these are not relevant topics to the resolution. Many who argue about marijuana often argue that it should be decriminalized. Again, while an interesting and important topic it is not directly related to this debate over legality. It is feasible to argue something to be illegal and decriminalized, or to argue for less stringent punishments

Many people have overdosed on medicine prescribed by a doctor, these man made medicine may even kill you, just one pill can end your life.

By legalizing this plant every individual, family, community could be calmed without fearing that death would occur to their loved ones because of the side effects during the treatment process. “This is more than just a theory or hypothesis. There is an insurmountable pile of evidence that cannabis cures/treats cancer (and a multitude of other illnesses) in a large amount of cases, and may even prevent it from coming back. The amount of evidence is daunting, and the science is sound.” (Feinberg) This example provides an insight from Chris Elkins who is a graduate of health communication. In this article instances are given where he provided scientific studies done on the relations between cancer, disease and the effect of marijuana itself and by products. Medical marijuana helps the victim fight off the ailment which is killing their body with no side effects but an increased appetite, and red-eyed appearance. Yet marijuana is barely legal in some states because the rise of this treatment is affordable, natural, and side effects that can harm you aren’t present in this natural remedy.

In November 2016, the majority of California voted yes to proposition 64, which supports legalizing recreational marijuana for anyone who is 21 years old or older. Anyone ages 21 years or older are able to purchase, possess, and produce marijuana without a medical marijuana card.

In this essay, I will argue that marijuana should not be legalized for recreational use. I do not support the legalization of marijuana because it can be harmful and addictive to our bodies and will affect our current and future adolescents.

Meanwhile, society oversee the positive outcome of what medical cannabis can achieve.

It is used around the world where the use of medical cannabis is legal. Currently, there is 27 states in the U.S where medical marijuana is legalized for medical reasons and or recreationally. Patients around the world need this substance and I go on convinced that it helps people with medical conditions. This is not a matter of opinion; I am saying this because it is a fact. The federal government needs to legalize medical marijuana across the U.S considering it does not cause harm to our bodies and can help patients who have medical conditions. Have you ever known someone who is suffering from an illness or cancer? Wouldn’t it be nice having a natural way of helping those who are
