I grew up with parents who smoked Marijuana on a regular basis. They tried to hide it from me but I knew what they were doing. My parents exposed me to the drug, but I was also exposed to the drug just walking around my neighborhood, which was a ghetto trailer park in Clearfield Utah. Marijuana and other drugs were cool in my neighborhood and everybody who was anybody was doing them except me. I for some reason made the decision, I was not going to let drugs become a part of my life. I took DARE classes in school and I stayed very faithful to my church which is the LDS church. I grew up with a personal opinion that drugs were dangerous and I was not going to submit my body to them. I still live by this opinion, but after watching my dad die from complete Kidney failure, and Marijuana being one of the only things that gave him peace and helped him through the pain, I now fully agree that Marijuana should be made legal for medical reasons. …show more content…
I can understand the oppositions reasons why it should never become legal even for medical purposes, but I feel that there are more medical benefits for using the drug then there are negative reasons. I have read stories on how this drug has helped people and it makes me happy that they have found relief from their pain and suffering. I know my religion is against it, but knowing that Marijuana is made from the earth, it’s a natural method of helping with medical issues, I find myself disagreeing with my church. I feel and will forever feel that Medical Marijuana should be prescribed for Medical purposes because it has been proven
I believe marijuana is known as a drug for a reason. I am ok with having a use for it medicinally but only for problems. Right now, it just seems to be a hindrance for people that don’t medically need it. For example this can stop motivation in a job environment causing less production or be a safety hazard if someone is under the
I have always been against the use of all illegal drugs including marijuana, but while researching this topic, I have learned a lot about some of the positives of legalizing marijuana use. Considering it is classified as an illegal controlled substance, I have always been under the assumption that marijuana was bad for people, no matter what my friends may have said about how good it was. I was peer pressured into trying it when I was fourteen. I knew right away that it was not for me. It made me pass out and sick to my stomach when I woke up. That reiterated my assumption that it was bad for people. I did not understand how people could like it. I figured other people must not have had the same reaction as I did after smoking it.
First and foremost, marijuana is legal in some states in the United States but for medical use only and other countries such as Canada have already allowed for medical marijuana to be used. (“17 Legal Medical Marijuana States and DC – Medical Marijuana – ProCon.org.”) The fact that states and other nations have allowed the use of marijuana for an important aspect like medicine should be considered in the argument of making the drug legal. Especially since it has caused no problems being used that way. Marijuana as medicine can be a pain reliever for its users. It is also beneficial to the everyday person for relief of migraines, OCD’s, ADHD, ADD, and even prevention of Alzheimer’s. The drug also has no proven or tested medical drawbacks (“10 Major Health Benefits of Marijuana.” COED. ) Unlike other drugs like sleep aids, painkillers, alcohol and cigarettes, marijuana is not addictive. Of course the argument could be made that it is but there is no factual evidence that proves this point. People that are anti-marijuana legalization will say that it is unhealthy and bad for you. All of these assumptions
I believe that Medical Marijuana should be an accepted form of medical treatment. There is research that shows the many benefits of its use; there are growing studies that go against the contrary positions made by many studies which were old or based on incomplete research. Studies on Medical Marijuana studies have shown that it has a wide variety of positive effects in the treatment of cancer, glaucoma, nausea, AIDS/HIV and pain/analgesia. The increasing research supporting the need for further studies, the use of Medical Marijuana can potentially be the future of medicine. Studies show that it is far less habit-forming than many alternatives for pain relief such as oxycodone or morphine.
Marijuana has it’s medical uses, but people are still getting arrested and doing time in prison for being caught with it even though they were using it for its medical purposes. I know who would smoke Marijuana for medical purposes so they wouldn’t have to take pills that the doctors prescribed him because he knew he’d become addicted to them. I feel like it should be decriminalized because what it can do for people. People with anxiety can smoke it instead of taking pills. There are some people with Cancer who will smoke to help them eat and do stuff after Chemotherapy. It can even prevent alzheimer's from happening. They don’t even have to smoke it there are different ways for them to get it into their system. Marijuana is all natural and
If something helps people, why is it illegal? Marijuana has many more benefits than risks. The main ingredient in Medical Marijuana CBD, is so helpful because it helps patients without making them feel “high”. Another great thing about Medical Marijuana is that it can help fight and even kill some cancer. Marijuana should be legal for medicinal purposes because it has very few side effects, anyone with the problems can qualify for it, it helps fight cancer, and if people would realize all that it's good for it would have a very simple legalization process.
I agree with marijuana being legalized for medicinal purposes because there are many people who benefit from it. Many people use it to help treat pain from cancer and diabetes. For this reason, it should be legal for a doctor to prescribe it is deemed necessary. You are correct however that people will do what they want and use marijuana regardless of its legal status. Legalizing it will help control the production and distribution of it and take it off the streets and away from cartels.
The reason I believe marijuana should be legal is that there is no decent reason for it not to be legalized. Some people ask 'why should marijuana be legalized?" but I ask "Why shouldn’t it?" From my point of view, individuals deserve the right to make choices for themselves. The government should only have a right to limit those choices if the person 's actions endanger someone else. This simply does not apply to marijuana, since the individual who chooses to use
In todays society marijuana is a very controversial topic in America. There has been some horrible remarks towards cannabis in the past but the truth is finally starting to come out. People think of marijuana as a substance just to get “high” with but there are other good outcomes towards cannabis that can make this world a better place.As a marijuana support I believe marijuana should be used for all purposes.
The prohibition of marijuana has generated intense debates for years about its effects on the human body, its therapeutic possessions, and its consequence on society. Today, the debate between the Federal government’s policies, state laws, the medical researchers, physicians, and patients has been dramatically unstable. The studies show in-depth research about the effectiveness of medical marijuana as a therapeutic drug; finally persuading state politicians to legalized marijuana. Although many are against the legalization of marijuana, this paper will argue that the legalization of marijuana benefits the government of the United States. The legalization of marijuana offers a significant benefit in decriminalization by freeing up prisons,
Marijuana should be legal for medical purposes also because it can be used to save many lives. www.factslides.com has stated in their marijuana slide article that there is a marijuana compound that causes cancer cells in patients to
The legalization of marijuana is a controversial subject; however, there are many positive arguments to support the idea. It has been scientifically proven that marijuana is not a health risk and that it is less toxic than alcohol, caffeine, tobacco, and aspirin. It has helped many people with health problems, such as, Aids, Cancer, Epilepsy, and many more. It would also bring in a large amount of tax revenue; further proving that marijuana should be legalized throughout the United States.
Growing up I was always told that drugs are bad for you, and when you start growing up you don't really understand the reason behind it, but in the end you still end up listening to your elders. Growing up I knew that people still did drugs even though it's illegal. With that being said I didn't understand why people would go against the law and consume it, and the drug I'm referring it to is marijuana. Nowadays it's all around us, life in the media, TV, movies, music, and even in public. Coming from a personal experience, I've always wonder why it's not legal? Because in my opinion the affect aren't bad and you can use it for medical purposes. In allot. The debate do legalize marijuana in the U.S has been fought ever since the drug existed.
The case of marijuana legalization has always been conflictive among people but I personally think that cannabis should be legalized as it is a drug that provides many treatments with minor side effects. Scientifically proven, cannabis is one of the safest drugs. Cannabis including all its components can never affect the respiration process of human which means that marijuana can never cause overdose. Unlike most of the “legal” drugs prescribed every day, marijuana is not physically addictive, in other words, if a person uses cannabis for a period of time and then stops using it there would be no any negative consequences to the users health. Marijuana is a drug that was and still is being recommended by many physicians because it provides

You have however heard of someone dying from Alcohol, whether it be from poisoning, drunk driving, etc. Marijuana has been used for 10,000 years and hasn’t had one recorded death EVER(Online Debate)! Alcohol has been used since 4000 B.C.E , and it kills 2.5 Million people every year worldwide (World Health Organization). That’s 10 Billion deaths ever since Alcohol has been used!
