The Pros of Legalizing Medical Marijuana
If you are pro in legalizing medical marijuana, here are some reasons why:
It does not lead to overdose or death unlike prescription drugs, which are prescribed to patients
who use marijuana. Studies show that it does not cause long-term harm to the user’s brain or
body.
Reducing anxiety
Improving mood
and increasing appetite, especially among cancer patients.
Let’s learn in detail about it:
Cancer patients use marijuana to help with the side effects of chemotherapy such as:
Nausea.
Loss of appetite.
And pain.
Glaucoma patients also use marijuana to lower the pressure inside the eye to prevent
blindness. HIV/AIDS patients use marijuana to relieve pain and increase their appetite.
Doesn’t Cause Harm to Users or Others Around Them
Another pro of legalizing medical marijuana is that it doesn’t cause harm to users or others
around them because people use it medically and do not abuse it. During the prohibition of
alcohol, people use it as a recreational drug, which caused harm to them, especially children.
Alcohol may also be responsible for a lot of harm, injury, and even death. However, when it
comes to medical marijuana, its use is to treat diseases and relieve pain, so it doesn’t cause harm
to others or the user.
In fact, people believe it helps reduce opioid use and prevent overdoses, which is a benefit of
legalizing medical marijuana.
Medical marijuana also may help people who have eating disorders, such as anorexia or bulimia.
It can help these patients get the nutrients and calories that they need to survive and function
normally again.
One of the cons of legalizing medical marijuana is that it could contribute to more traffic
accidents and fatalities because people who use it are more likely to drive while under the drug’s
influence.
Since marijuana can be detected in a person’s bloodstream for several weeks, one can detect it in
a person’s blood after they have stopped using it.
One of the cons of legalizing marijuana is that it could be easily accessible to children. Minors
could easily purchase and buy the drug because it is not regulated or illegal for them to do so.
This could lead to, children abusing it and abusing the law.
Another con of legalizing medical marijuana is that it could lead to more crimes because people
can steal it from medical facilities and sell it on the street. This could cause more crimes and be
harmful to patients who need the drug for treatment.
Another con of legalizing medical marijuana is that it could lead to more car accidents because
people who use it are more likely to drive while under the drug’s influence.
Goodluck love!!!!!!
