Aside
from helping cancer patients, those with glaucoma and those
with intense pain, marijuana might also prevent Alzheimer's
disease? Isn't it time to legalize marijuana, or to at least
put it in the control of doctors rather than the prison-for-everyone
criminal justice system?
Why is marijuana classified
as a drug with no medical benefits? Is it because it is a
simple weed that can grow almost anywhere, which is just too
much competition for the pharmaceutical industry?
Let's face it,
the U.S. government stinks when it comes to medical marijuana.
While research
has shown that the body is full of cannabinoid receptors that
control appetite, pain, memory and mood, cannabis is still
considered a drug without medical use.
Hmmm. Where does
the pharmaceutical industry make significant amounts of money
- controlling appetite, pain, and mood? Patients could
either smoke a cheap weed, or pay billions to drug companies.
Hmmm.
By now it seems the medical
benefits of marijuana are without question (more).
Why not at least give doctors control over marijuana?
Obviously, the criminal
justice system also doesn't want this to happen - they make
too much money off of prosecuting America's many millions of
harmless potheads.
Rate whether marijuana should
be legalized.
