I would like to talk about medical uses of marijuana. As I stated before marijuana has a wide range of clinical applications. Marijuana have been used for medical purposes since the beginning of time. Of all the negative consequences of marijuana prohibition, none is as tragic as the denial of medicinal cannabis to the tens of thousands of patients who could benefit from its therapeutic use. Modern researches suggests that cannabis is a valuable aid in the treatment of a wide range of clinical applications. Some of them would be: pain relief -particularly of neuropathic pain, nausea, spasticity, glaucoma, and movement disorders, it also used as powerful appetite stimulants specifically for patients suffering from HIV, the AIDS wasting syndrome, or dementia.

With medical marijuana usage there is a lot of controversy regarding if it is actually beneficial to people with medical illnesses. Some people are supportive of the use of marijuana and the oils to help patients with terminal illnesses and other illnesses to help pain and sickness. Other people are very against marijuana use and do not believe that the oils or marijuana can be beneficial at all. I propose that medical marijuana use should be allowed and people should not be shamed for wanting to help themselves, their children or their family members. If the oils or marijuana is helpful to deal with pain or sickness there should be no reason for any shaming. It is like a form of medicine to a degree. It helps with nausea, seizures as well
This year, millions of Americans are weighing in on one of the most controversial and pressing issues in our country today: medical marijuana. It’s no secret that some states have already embraced the ambiguous federal laws surrounding this topic. However, when examining the pros and cons of medical marijuana it is important to distinguish fact from fiction.
In current society, the legal status of marijuana has become a popular topic, mostly due to the debate over whether it is beneficial or detrimental to the human body. Marijuana has a unique component called CBD, which is why marijuana is beneficial for medical purposes. CBD is what helps marijuana decrease seizures and other medical problems along with being a good substitute for alcohol and other prescription drugs. Marijuana has also been seen to increase creativity and help reduce cerebral atrophy in some patients. Overall, more study is needed, but I believe marijuana is beneficial for its medical and therapeutic benefits.
Marijuana has been used for medicinal purposes for more that 4,000 years, but for many it has no place in the medical world. People fear that the use of marijuana will be abused, and while that fear is true, it doesn’t change the fact that medical marijuana has benefits for those who need it. Medical marijuana is used for many things such as chronic pain, anxiety, cancer and HIV.
Marijuana has been a highly controversial topic in our society for several years with the main controversy being over whether marijuana should be legalized or not. Branching off of the idea of legalization comes this idea of marijuana being used for a medical purpose. Marijuana has proved to benefit medically in multiple different ways physically and mentally. Despite the knowledge of relief marijuana could provide there are still massive amounts of controversy circulating the idea of legalization for medical purposes.
Medical marijuana is very a big and controversial issue in today's society, currently the community is divided on the issue. Questions are always being thrown around such as "how does marijuana affect the body?" and "what good does’ marijuana do for a person?" Researchers have tried to answer these questions with multiple studies and they have shown some of the positives of medical marijuana. If something is able to help someone who is in dire need why not use it on those people to find a better solution for them. I myself am on the supportive side of the issue of medical marijuana. I don't think it should be legal to just anyone though I believe there should be a legal age law, a driving while under the influence, and a public intoxication law in effect for medical marijuana to be legal.
