Medical Marijuana.

It seems to me that the arguments against medical marijuana are becoming less valid. We have all heard of the studies citing the benefits of its use for individuals with cancer, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis and AIDS. It relieves pain, nausea and other symptoms associated with these illnesses and is not as harsh as some of the available drugs. This doesn't mean that medical marijuana should subsitute other drug and treatment plans but at the very least it can supplement them. The … more

Although Not Without It's Drawbacks, Making Marijuana Legal Far Outweighs the Cons

People already abuse marijuana illegally, so what should stop the government from unilaterally allowing the legal use of marijuana? The only crime the use of marijuana should be considered is the abuse. Alcohol was illegal for a brief time in American history (Prohibition), but now there's a legal drinking age for it, and the use of alcohol is only a crime when there's abuse involved, such as driving while intoxicated, drinking in public (to prevent indecent exposure, and other … more
