Marijuana

Marijuana might be known as a drug used only to feel a "high" or a drug that makes you feel unbelievably happy for a little while, but as we sow in class marijuana helps with a lot more. For example it relieves symptoms for cancer, seizers, Alzheimer’s and asthma. This is why I think that medical marijuana should be legal in all countries including the Dominican Republic and the United States. Personally I think it is better to save a life and relieve pain symptoms than to have a cancer patient struggling day to day. If I was the patient under this situation I would take the cannabis if it meant that I could relief the pain for a few hours and I might be able to be normal, even if it was for a little bit. If medical cannabis helps you to live your life a little bit more normal than I think its worth the consequences to make it legal. It has been proven that there are many people who can benefit from this drug and no one knows why it helps because it has not been proven. Even though I agree with medical marijuana I don’t agree with marijuana being legal to every citizen. Even though making it legal might make people want it less, I think it’s a reason for trouble to make it legal to everyone. Making it legal for citizens to use might increase day-to-day accidents or simply make people more addicted to this drug. In class we had a discussion if we though alcohol was better than marijuana. My response was that no, I don’t think that marijuana is better than alcohol. The reason is that marijuana makes you feel lost even if you take little amounts of it while alcohol you can have a glass and feel the same.
