Assignment2-Marijuana

Marijuana is a drug that can have both positive and negative effects depending on the purpose for which it is used. It is one of the most illegally sold and used drug among teenagers which lead to the long term addiction. However, it also has a use for medical purposes, especially in the treatment of patients with anxiety disorders. Hence many people favor its medical use. I too support the medical use of marijuana. However there should be laws and controls to restrict its illegal trade by drug traffickers. Currently, 15 states in the United States allow the use of marijuana for medical purpose, with California leading in the number of dispensaries that sell it. The remaining states should also amend its laws to legalize the sale and use of marijuana for medical purpose as it could be beneficial to a number of patients. I think marijuana should be legalized for the medical purpose only!
