Marijuana is one of the most discussed and controversial topics around the world


Marijuana is one of the most discussed and controversial topics around the world. It is supported by quite a lot of people who unanimously think that marijuana can do less harm than hard drugs and alcohol. But proponents of marijuana believe that marijuana will be used by people recreationally and not for medical purposes and what is more, restricted access can lead to increase of illegal production. Although using marijuana for medical purposes is cheaper and doesn't cause addictions like, for instance morphine and can relieve terminally ill people. Having into consideration different views marijuana should be legalize for medical purposes.

Opponents of legalization of marijuana claim that marijuana can be used recreationally by people who are not ill. However, this point of view is inaccurate. Despite the fact that people use nowadays various substances that are not dedicated for them but for ill people marijuana is generally prescript to people in need. Marijuana is a painkiller used by people to distract a pain. It can relieve the suffering of pain and make life easier. In comparison to morphine it doesn't causes addiction and practically can't be overdosed. People who think that this drug will be also prescript to a healthy person illegally, should remember that many also use false prescriptions to get other medicaments like pills or injections. So, banning marijuana will bring suffering to those who really need this.

Opponents also think that legalizing marijuana only for medical purposes will increase illegal dealing and won't bring money from taxes. They say that some dealers may pay taxes only for marijuana which is use for medical purposes, but not for marijuana that is produced illegally. However, if the doctors prescribe marijuana for certain patients, and if the rules for usage of the drug are very strict, there will not be any misuse of the drug. Moreover , incomes from taxes from marijuana can be spent on research for cures for various illnesses. Also the penalties for not paying taxes, so in fact illegal cultivating and trafficking marijuana should be high and inevitable. To recap, legalizing marijuana for medical purposes can bring extra money to government.

The final argument presented by opponents of legalizing marijuana is that marijuana can be very addicted. They consider it as a drug, and drugs cause addiction. However, they are off the point because marijuana is less addictive. In comparison to other medicaments like morphine or codeine, which are highly addictive, marijuana is relatively safe and can be used by all patients no matter how old they are. Furthermore, production costs of marijuana are undoubtedly lower than manufacturing morphine or other remedies in sterile laboratories. Marijuana is a great substitute of medicaments and it's a more natural product unlike artificial ones.

To sum up, legalizing marijuana for medical purposes is a very controversial topic. On one hand it can cause that many people can get marijuana illegally and sell it, but on the other hand banning marijuana to everyone can cause that a lot of people will be suffer from pain, because marijuana is the safest thing , which can bring them calm and relief. It is not so addictive as many opponents think and can bring money to government. Therefore, marijuana should be legalized for medical purposes for all people that suffer.
