The benefits of medical marijuana have always been dubious as majority of the government bodies across the globe refuse to accept its medical benefits. However, medical marijuana supporters continue to endorse that medical marijuana does have diverse beneficial usage in case of treatment of terminal diseases like cancer and AIDS as well as other diseases like gastrointestinal illness and glaucoma. These supporters also argue that it is less dangerous than alcohol, cigarettes, and over-the-counter medicines. Therefore marijuana legalization is a debate or an issue which still continues.
According to marijuana laws, while recreational usage of medical marijuana is restricted in most countries, several countries like Canada, Austria, Belgium, Netherlands, Czech Republic , USA and many others are beginning to legalize medicinal usage of cannabis. In US, there was a swell of support for medical marijuana legalization, and finally, California became the first state to legalize medical marijuana by passing Proposition 215 (Compassionate Use Act) in 1996, followed by 16 other US states.
Here is a list of reasons on why marijuana should be legalized and government bodies should look at modifying the medical marijuana laws:
· The healing value of marijuana has been mentioned even in the ancient Chinese herbal remedy book attributed to Shen Neng. Medical practitioners have used medical marijuana to assuage and provide relief to hundreds of patients who are suffering from terminal diseases like AIDS, cancer, anorexia, arthritis, cachexia, chronic pain, glaucoma, migraine, persistent muscle spasms associated with multiple sclerosis, seizures associated with epilepsy, Crohn's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and other chronic or persistent medical symptoms.
· The Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has approved medical marijuana for handling conditions like nausea and vomiting from cancer chemotherapy.
· If the marijuana laws regulate the medical marijuana market, it would reduce marijuana sales and use among teenagers, as well as reduce their exposure to other drugs in the illegal market. The illegality of marijuana makes it more valuable than if it were legal, providing opportunities for teenagers to make easy money selling it to their friends.
· Medical marijuana legalization would permit development of marijuana or cannabis as a valuable agricultural crop in the United States. It can be used in the development of a new bio-fuel to reduce carbon emissions. According to marijuana laws, Canada and few of the European countries have managed to support legal marijuana cultivation without legalizing marijuana, but in the United States opposition to legalization of marijuana remains the biggest obstacle to development of marijuana or hemp as a valuable agricultural commodity.
