Discuss whether or not you believe the use of medical marijuana is justified or should be legalized.



I do believe that people are going to have different opinions about legalizing marijuana. I have never smoked marijuana or used any other drugs. I do know people that do smoke marijuana and although I don’t see any physical impairment I know that it has to do something to your body on the inside and your mind.  I believe that legalizing marijuana for medical use can be good for cancer patients. When my brother-in-law’s mother was suffering from stage four lung cancer she did not have an appetite so the doctor prescribed her marijuana so that she would eat something.  I think that it should only be available to the cancer patients that really need it. As far as just legalizing marijuana for everyone I do not think it should legal. I know most people are going to disagree with me but I think people that smoke marijuana are going to show signs mentally. One reason I do not think that it should be legal is because I do not think that anyone should be able to do it in front of children or even in the same area as children. I think second hand smoke would apply to marijuana just like it does to cigarettes. I do think that if we legalized marijuana then it would release a lot of people from jails and prisons. I also think that it would cut done on the crime rates. I think that we should have some better resources to teach more people to say NO to drugs.
