Marijuana for medical purposes


“Using marijuana for medical reasons could help benefit patients with certain ailments."

Commonly known as medical cannabis, this is using illegal drugs, such as marijuana, to treat certain ailments and diseases. These medical drugs are to help ease pain from cancer or treat blindness from glaucoma. Some people think that these illegal drugs will help benefit patients in many ways, but other have a different opinion. Others think that using these drugs will cause addiction to patients and that the drugs will worsen their condition as well.

In our opinion, legalizing medical marijuana could truly benefit a patient who is suffering from extreme pain. As for people with glaucoma, we feel that these medical drugs can help improve their eye condition and help them see better.

Even though medical marijuana has its advantages, it also has many people wonder about it's costly disadvantages. For example, Marijuana is a doorway drug to harsher more dangerous drug use, pot makes you stupid, crime rates will increase, it will make the drugs more accessible to our country's youth, and Marijuana can seriously increase your chances in lung cancer.

In conclusion, we feel that marijuana can benefit ailing patients, even though there are some serious concequences and negative effects to medical drugs. We feel that these drugs should be authorized for patients with a doctor's authorization, this will prevent certain youth from accessing them.
