Medical Marijuana Presentation
Since California's Proposition 215 passed in 1996, medical marijuana has been on the rise. Now, sixteen states and Washington D.C. have adopted their own laws allowing those with a doctor's recommendation to use marijuana for various reasons. I support those who want to use marijuana for medicinal purposes. The proven analgesic effects can be effective in those with chronic pains. Marijuana can even alleviate nausea and stop vomiting in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Due to it's schedule in the CSA, there has been an underwhelming amount of research done, and this is preventing marijuana from getting the positive attention it deserves. Pharmaceutical companies already prescribe Marinol, which also contains THC, to those with the symptoms listed above. It seems like the only difference between Marinol and Marijuana is who is profiting on the distribution.
