I definitely believe the use of medical marijuana should be
legalized. There are so many ways that marijuana
can help people. From cancer patients
all the way to simpler things like anxiety.
People take all kinds of medication for depression and anxiety. These medications can be very addictive and
harmful to the patients. Marijuana has
no physical addictive property, while many other legal substances are
considered to be very addictive both physically and mentally. While marijuana does little to cure any diseases,
it does a great deal to ease the suffering caused by many different ailments
without adverse side effects.
The reasons for a substance to be determined illegal is
supposed to be directly related to the amount of social damage caused by the
substance. The only social damage caused
by marijuana is due to it being illegal.
People smoke marijuana in the privacy of their home without harming
anybody and can wind up arrested or fired from their jobs not because they made
a mistake at work or caused someone physical harm but because they smoked some
marijuana.
Not only do I believe that medical marijuana should be
legalized but I believe marijuana in general should be legalized. Not only are the laws against marijuana
useless but they are also ineffective and a giant waste of our taxes.
I personally have an extensive history of drug use and have
been sober and living the good life for three years, so while I no longer use
marijuana myself, I do believe that Americans should have the right to use
marijuana. I also believe that our taxes
could be used for better things then arresting and imprisoning people for
relaxing in the privacy of their home.
