Lastly, There are Hundreds of Potential Medical Uses

At last count, 24 states and Washington DC have legalized at least the medical use of marijuana for those suffering from serious diseases such as cancer, MS, AIDS, epilepsy, nausea, and many other conditions. More than 76 percent of doctors said that they would have no problem prescribing marijuana for medicinal purposes.

There appear to be no adverse effects to using weed, although there is a limited amount of research to rely on for this. Even the Veterans’ Administration of the United States clearly identifies that marijuana use is of great benefit to those who are suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome. Parents with children who suffer from movement disorders or seizures that medication cannot control state that marijuana has relived most, if not all, of their symptoms. Studies outside of America show that cancerous tumors are being reduced with cannabis treatments. Isn’t it strange that a country where aspirin kills about 500 people each year and where there are no deaths reported ever, in the history of mankind, being attributed to marijuana, would try to keep laws in place outlawing it’s use because we are afraid someone might enjoy it or become addicted?

Although we really do need more research done involving marijuana,  rather than continue to look only at its negative health issues, we should be focusing on how it can help people, what doses work best, and how often should it be used to obtain maximum results.
