Legalization of Cannabis

Legalization of Cannabis

            Although Cannabis, or Marijuana, has been perceived as an illegal substance that can be punishable by prison time, it is time that government officials face the truth. It is time that cannabis is legalized medically around the entire United States. Lets face the facts. Did you know that no person has ever died from a marijuana overdose? However, in the US, about 38 thousand people died from an overdose on prescribed drugs. So why are these distributed legally?

            Cannabis is also a source of medicine that can help heal or treat a number of diseases or maladies. There is limited evidence suggesting cannabis can be used to reduce nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy, to improve appetite in people with HIV, and to treat chronic pain and muscle spasms. These are common maladies and pains that occur daily to thousands of people. So why can’t it be prescribed in all states of the US? If these samples of cannabis used are low on THC, they will not display drastic side effects like recreational marijuana does.

            So why not legalize it? If it is such a safe and reliable drug for many maladies, there should not be a reason not to do so. This can be a lifesaver for many people. What would you do?
