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.

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 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

Should marijuana be legalized for recreational purposes? That question, and many variances of it, have been kicked around and hotly debated for decades by the middling individual and politicians alike. Just recently, devout and faithful cannabis users have had a series of victories leading in the direction of one day national legalization of marijuana. Recreational users want marijuana legalized and politicians want the money from legalizing marijuana. It seems as if legalizing marijuana for recreational use would be a no brainer and a win-win for both sides. Then how come it is 2014 and we still don’t have national legalization of marijuana?

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.

What really are the short-term and long-term effects of medical marijuana? Does marijuana compare to other FDA- approved drugs?

Cannabis Sativa L is known on the street as Marijuana, Weed, or Herb. It is grown naturally and scientifically all over the world. Should it be legalized for recreational purposes?
